Noticed today one of my otos has a new weird growth on its back and maybe on the bottom of its back fin. Does anyone know what this could be? None of my other fish have this.

I guess it got wounded and that the wounds have fungus. It's back is red suggesting there is also a bacterial infection there.
 
I quarantined it and added melafix to the tank so hopefully that helps.

melafix only works sometimes for me...
