one of my barracuda's(altus) has a large bump on the side of his body. It looks like a giant zit around the abdominal area. He stills has all his energy and remains constantly hungry. I have no clue what it could be I added some salt yesterday to hopfully remedy the situation. So far no improvements but maybe it's just too soon. Any ideas or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
 
How long have you had it? How long has the bump been there?
 
Could be a localized infection or furunculous, watch for it to rupture into a sore or turn white in the center. If it does treat by swabbing it with iodine or hydrogen peroxide and treating the tank with binox, neomycin sulfate, or even kanaplex.
