Discus has white "zit like" blemish

[JackBlasto]

Any idea what I should be treating this for?

It's on the Orange discus. Is white. Looks like a squeezed pimple. I'm guessing fungus???

Thanks for any thoughts

Not sure what it is, but any time i have seen something 'off' about my
Discus, i turn out the lights, make sure the water perimeters are perfect and up the temp. I used medication once and it took out a few of my discus so i try to keep it simple.

This forum elsewhere tells me it's nothing to worry about http://www.qldaf.com/forums/help-fish-health-diseases-water-quality-12/strange-pimple-discus-74658/

I would like to believe this to be true

That particular fish is around 3 years old. I do between 20-30 gallon water changes daily. It's a 120 gallon tank. Water parameters are exactly what you'd want in a discus tank.

6.2 ph
Nitrates 5
Nitrites 0
Ammonia 0
Temp 85

Even better! Perfect perimeters and warm water never hurts! But you're there

It is indeed a pimple. Discus have pores just like humans and it became irritated and infected, therefore producing that pimple. When it pops it will leave a small hole. You can remove it from the tank and use a qtip to dab a little H2O2 on it for 3-5 days after if you wish. Just keep the good WC's going. Nothing to stress over. You're more worried than it is a about it.

That'd be awesome if they did, but unfortunately no. ??
