Hi,
I have a female apisto approx 1" in length and the couple of weeks she has been showing breeding behaviour however she also now has 3 bumps growing on the top of her head! It isn't whitespot and have 0 ammonia/nitrite I've checked for hole in the head but I think she's too smalland it doesn't really look like it. Right now it doesn't seem to be affecting her too much but it's steadily getting worse and worse!

Shes also the only one in the tank with it.
Any ideas?

Best pic I can get, theres 3 spots on her head in all that pic only shows 2 of them, shes now just hiding in the coconut cave even though shes shown no signs of differant behavior since it started forming. Really hope she'll be okay as shes one of my favourites but I'm not holding out much hope :(
 
Ok I'll try this then! :)

She just died. Deteriorated ridiculously fast. Extremely sad she was such a cute fish.
