Found this on a tetra. Wasn’t there a couple of days ago. Doesn’t look fuzzy to me but what do you guys think. Injury? It’s not the normal bumps they get on their lips. Ever since I had Columnaris a couple of years ago, I freak on things around the mouth. Looks more like skin than fuzz to me. Anyone else? Second pic is other side where he looks normal.

Wow, that is a growth of some sort. Agree it doesn't look cottony but doesn't look like skin. The only thing I can guess it was is mouth fungus. Found this handy chart off their facebook site.

It's not Columnaris and doesn't look like fungus.

It could be a fat lip. Salt him up and see how it looks tomorrow.

Yeah, he was fighting with another one in QT this morning. He may just be feisty and someone had enough of him. Thanks!
