My beautiful Hoplosternum thoracatum has a strange white formation on its belly. He has it for a very long time (counting a couple of months) and it neither increases nor decreases, it looks like the formation of his own body and not some kind of external object (I may be wrong!). The fish feels well, eats very well, is very curious, cheeky and his behavior has not changed in any way that would indicate any problems. But that thing on his belly worries me very much. What it is, it is dangerous to him and other fish?
The tank is 200L.
All parameters are good. I change about 30% of the water once a week. I feed my fish twice a day, mostly they eat frozen food bought in a specialized aqua store. I use plant fertilizers daily. No angry or aggressive fish, lots of plants and places to hide.
