Noticed a slightly pink lump on the side of my little Senegal yesterday, today it's looking a bit bigger and much redder and nastier. The fish is still active and eating, there's four other similar sized bichirs in the tank plus a pair of kribs and an old Peckoltia. Water is good (0, 0, <10ppm), ~7.4 pH and fairly soft, 25-6C.
Is it some sort of infection, or could it be damage from the pleco? (Thinking more like a spike rather than being rasped on).
