Hi i have a DG which overnight has developed a red protrusion from the corner of its mouth. The tank has been going for 3 months now and everything has been fine. 40% Water changes every week. Not sure if he has just bumped himself and got wounded. It does stick out a bit which cannot be seen from the photos. Also he is acting as usual. No water params as im waiting on new test equipment. Any help will be appreciated.
 
Do you think he might have gotten stuck somewhere? My DG's liked to squeeze themselves in the smallest spaces...
If it's not a giant lump, I would just keep the water clean for a few days, and keep an eye on the spot. If it gets bigger you might need to treat. It kind of just looks like a blood blister, like people get when pinched.
