Hi everyone, quick question and observation hope you can help. My son noticed a small red spot right near the gill of the fish which looks like it can be from where it rubbed on something(possibly when I mistakenly added a Gold gourami and he chased it all over the place until I removed it and took it back), or a nip from other fish(which I doubt). Although it's acting as normal, eating etc... my concern is that it could be a disease of some sort. Any feed back or advice is appreciated please. :thanks:

I would just keep an eye on it, it could just be an injury. Is it raised?

Either way, keep water as clean as possiblex

If it raises or increases in diamitor then it could be a parasite. If it does get ugly a few days in the hospital tank with some formalin and salt will fo the trick.
