Can anyone I.D this pimple looking thing on my Nicaraguan? No other fish in the tank has it and it is definitely new on him (within the last week). Should I QT him and what can I do to treat him?

I'm not sure if its a cut from the lava rock, it doesn't look like it but it has happened to other fish in the tank so I thought i should throw that out there.

I can't say for sure exactly what it is but try putting a drop of methylene blue or iodine directly on it.

I didnt do anything except drop a tiny pinch of salt onto it and then just added the normal "dose" of salt into the tank and it disappeared in a couple of days. I think it was a cut from the lava rock because it looked like the scales over the cut were gone
