bump on my german blue rams head


there is a small white bump/growth on my gbr's head. it had been there for a bit (a few weeks) his behavior hasn't changed, eats fine, still plenty of energy. i couldn't get a great front shot because he likes to go sideways when i get up close, but here is a side shot of him. you can see it's a bit raised, maybe a mm across, white in colour. it's not ick, it doesn't appear to be columinaris, it's not cotton-y it looks smooth like a white head. can anyone identify this for me?

Here is another pic. Also not great. But it shows the bump I'm talking about. It looks like there could be more starting around the sides of its "nose" and on the inner edge of its eyes.


Could this be the start to hole in the head? I do my regular water changes although I haven't tested the water in a bit?

It could be hith, hard to say, but being as its still a mystery, your water could be fine. If you run carbon, you should remove it, and see if it gets better.
