Our little ornate has this growth on his side. It looks like a pimple almost. Any ideas on what it is? There's no worms or wiggly anything. I'm stumped.

Odd looking. Kind of looks like a heater burn that’s trying to heal. How long has it been there?

A week maybe. And there's no heater in that tank. It's got me totally stumped.

Any tankmates? If it’s improving and acting normal then monitor.

Only other tank mate (aside from some little guppies) is an endlicheri that's approximately the same size. It's acting fine, and there's no change in the growth.
