    Default was this a fish scab?

    i am fairly certain this is the result of wood collision.
    the white puff would come off when brush off by my hand then reform.

    it has since gone away, lasted for a few days. in photo you can see what looks like a scratch below it too.

    just wondering if this is what the normal healing of a small injury looks liked. when i saw the white my thought was fungus, but i have never had fungus issue before (outside of fin rot on non discusdiscus whit spot crop.jpgdiscus white spot.jpg

    thanks

    Larry, a few large water changes should handle that.

    The pimple is generally caused by water quality issues. The other area look like it rubbed against something. Water changes should take care of both.
