Hey everyone, my pbass has had this small growth on his pectoral fin beside his right gill for a little while now, at first it looked lke a fungus. But now after a few weeks of 40% wc twice a week and aquarium salt, it looks better then it did before, it looks like some sort of pimple or lumb insted of fungus. What could it be? Also if needed, what med should i use? He is still eating well (still on feeders unfortunatly - possibly how the lump developed?) but does seem to be irritated by it, seems like he tries to scratch at it. Any suggestions?
 
Temp is at 85, no airstone though, but there is lots of surface agitation in the water for oxygen exchange.
