This fella has a protruding white dot on the side of it. It almost looks like a white head. These are the best pics it would led me get. I know my ammonia is high as I think the tank is still cycling a bit. I am going to do a 50% WC shortly. I went out today to get a QT tank and im going to get it set up if needed. Are there any suggestions as to what this bump is? How would you recommend me treating it? Should I move him to a QT tank? I appreciate and look forward to any advice you can provide me with
