So...I have a 40 gal running well for two months in it are 10 pristella, 6 swordtails, an upside down catfish, 2 paradise fish, and a gold nugget pleco.

parameters are all good as of 2 days ago PH @ 7.6 Temp at 78*

Noticed this morning that one of my female swordtails has a small, white bump over her eye. I'd call it a tiny pimple ( best way I can describe it) She's a new resident for about 1.5 weeks now and a couple of incehs long. The pristellas are tiny, paradise at about 3" ( no larger ) and my pleco is 3.5 maybe. The catfish I haven't seen for a while now, but he's small, maybe 2". All of my other fish have been in this tank for over a month now.

Being feed frozen bloodworms, flake, sinking pellets. Last water change was a week and a half, changed 20 gallons and vacuumed clean. Running an aqua tech 30/60 but am setting a fluval 405 this weekend.

Not sure what this is but, I don't have a quarantine tank at the moment to put her in.

Looking for similar issues and / or advice as to what to look for or do.

Thanks !
