It is time to ask about the tank him and the other fish with issue on his lip is in..
Size ,tank mates ,waterchange schedule....

 

[CamERER]

This is a separate tank

 

[CamERER]

I do water changes once every 2 weeks on the 150 and once a month on the planted 25

Have you tested your water?

 

[CamERER]

Yes no ammonia no nitrite and very little nitrates

 

[coralbandit]

Who was in the tank he was in when this issue came up ? If it is not injury it is bacterial.

 

[CamERER]

Him a betta and otocinclus Cory guppys and a loach in a planted

Have you looked up anchor worms

 

[CamERER]

It’s more of a tumor

 

[Angellove78]

Could be, but your other fish has the same thing.

 

[V227]

Research "Lymphocystis". It's a viral infection specific to fish. It's possible to cut the growth off, but wouldn't recommend it. Sometimes the growth will go away on its own using an improved diet and water conditions.
