Hi guys

My Jumbo Ram has got a little spot on his back by his top fin and today i noticed he has been rubbing and flicking against things. What do you think this could be??

Tank size 90 litres, water stats normal,

fish include:
4 neons
4 silvertips
4 bleeding hearts,
1 female fighter fish,
1 other which i cant remember the name of lol.

any help would be appreciated

last time we started to do 75% water changes everyday we had a huge ammonia spike

Also the test colors are alot closer to 0 then 0.25

water changes shouldnt cause ammonia spikes, theres obviously something wrong, do a 75% WC now, and how long has the tank been setup? did you cycle? have you heard of cycling?
