Hello everyone just woundering if some one would know or have ideas to whats wrong with my red belly.He started growing this lump on his bottom side of his chin.Now the lump is bigger,pink and peels of after he rubs it on the tank glass.Not sure what it is looks like a large pimple in need of poping.KInda worried had him for 5 years no problems with him besides this.We figured one of the bones from a feeder fish might of got stuck in there causes and infection but not sure im posting pics of him please let me know what you think.Thanks

Oh the first pic is what it started out to look like and the rest is now

its a sore from hitting things wth his chin or rubbing on the glass constantly. the loose term for it would be a chimple. try some plant covering on the sides of the tank or a larger tank.

chimple it is.

what size tank is he in?

You could try putting a background on it if there is not one, and covering the sides too. Sometimes it gets them to stop rubbing on those sides.
