This pic shows his profile with the round lump under his head and the black spot on his side.

A better pic from the front. It looks like he's got a third eye.

My male fancy guppy has what looks like a black tumor under his "chin" and a black spot on his side. My water levels are great, I've had him for a few months, and nothing new has been introduced or changed. What do you think?

My males Flashy guppy and platy with clamped fins

My girls Big Momma and my other female platy I wish I knew how to turn the pictures...

My tank seems to be in a cycle again and I'm worried. My pH has always been good. The past few times my nitrite has been a little high and nitrate high. Ammonia was up slightly too. Last night my ammonia was high, nitrite and nitrate high also. I did a 50% water change. One of my male...

My platy fry are nearly a month old and the mom's soon ready to drop again. How long should I keep them isolated? They're in a HOB breeder box.

Snail eggs?! Wow! I wondered if that was the case, but I'm not familiar with snails so I didn't know how they reproduced.

Better pic of the round flat glob on the side of the tank.

Bottom of the heater

I've noticed this patch on the side of my tank, and a similar glob on the bottom of my heater. It's like a clear slime/gel. I haven't touched it. In my tank are 2 platies and a snail. The first picture looks like it's on the bottom of the heater but it's really on the side of the tank.

Looks like it was just poop. White weird poop. Every time I've treated for Ich I've been paranoid that I'd end up with opportunistic infections. Thanks for the help, everyone!

This is it, out of the fish

Here it is, out of the fish. I think this is what was hanging from the fish in previous picture, unless this is a different one and the other went back in. Can they do that?

Is this a parasite? I found a larger one in the water about an inch long. I'm currently treating the tank for ich, the female is going to have fry in a few weeks, and there are 5 fry from her last batch in an adjoining HOB breeder tank that uses the tank water.
