+1....beginning stage of ich and looks to be a bacterial infection.

I don't know if this is recommended or not, but I heard you can take the fish out in a net and remove the wart yourself. I've actually seen this done and it is easy, but I don't know if its good to do. Its the fastest way to remove the wart thats for sure.

do you think salt and high temp could cure both ick and the bacterial infection ?
also why would there be infection that tank as a bare bottom and they are not being overfeed.

Heat will only speed up an infection. what need to do is do large daily water changes. Welcome to the world of discus
