Injury or Something Else on Hump?

[odsrandy]

Hey All! Been a very long time since I've been on MFK. Happy to be back.

My Petco flowerhorn, Kevin, recently had this dark spot appear on his head. Does this look like an injury or something else? I just wanna make sure he's ok. He's acting 100% normal, I'm just being a worried keeper haha.

Thanks!

Hard to say. Could just be developing a beauty spot, maybe an injury, or the start of a pigment cell tumor like erythrophoromas. Give it clean conditions and keep an eye on it to see if it spreads or turns into an open wound.
