Default Pink Spot

There is a Pink Spot on my dwarf gourami. He is acting completely normal and my water conditions are in good standing. What do you think this could be?


I tried to take pictures but my gourami was not being very cooperative (neither was my battery). Well it's a small pink spot(about .25 of an inch in diameter) on the top front of him right before the fin attaches to the body.

Solved my own problem it's an ulcer. what could be causing it, my water conditions are good.

Well if it really has ulcer disease I would treat it with Erythromicin and Oxytetracycline at the same time and pray a lot.

if its a litlle pink dot i would think its either a fungel infection or an ulcer. and what you are seeing is flesh because it is eating through the scales. I just lost a redeye tetra to an ulcer i didnt know how to treat him and by the time i knew he was sick it was to late.

good luck in treating your sick baby
