Hi all,
I've been visiting your forum for awhile for the great information but now need a little more. I have a six year old Midas that has developed what appears to be a pimple in his tail fin. He was just moved to a new 125 gallon tank last Tuesday and is the only resident. Filtration canisters came from his old tank and we seem to be ok in the cycle. I have read up on anchor worm but do not think that is the problem. Water parameters= 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate. 78deg temp. He doesn't show any change in his behavior and I'm really at a loss here. I do not like chemicals in my tank but did dose with aquarium salt when I noticed it. I'll attach a couple pictures and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to say, keep the water clean and hopefully it just got scraped during the transfer. Nice looking fish!
 
Thanks RD! I'm thinking and hoping that is the case also. He's about 12 inches and it was quite the fiasco getting him moved over. He used to not be that bad but here lately has gotten quite aggressive whenever I do anything to his home. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
