White spot on one fishes head?

[Beermann]

Dwarf rainbowfish. One of them has this little while spot and I can't tell if it's fungus or just how he looks. I tried snapping a few pictures, here is the best one.

I'll try getting a better shot but for now what do you recommend? What should I be looking for this week to make sure it's not a weird growth or fungus?

He is not acting weird, water parameters are in check. They get a nice diet of flakes in the a.m. and different things in the p.m.

They've been in the tank for almost 3 days now.

Thanks

Hi ! I love my rainbows and while I don’t keep dwarf species I keep lots of others, my first thought is that they were just added a few days ago so keep a close eye and see what develops, if more have same symptoms or if spot gets bigger etc. Don’t wait forever, but don’t overreact and medicate a tank of newly arrived fish for something that may or maynot be an issue. I can’t see anything in the photo but my rainbows will get little patches of spots on their slime coat that go aw@y pretty quick. They are also prone to have lip issues from running into hard scape or even just the glass.

keep a close watch and do an emergency template if it gets worse or no change etc. if it stops eating or hiding abnormally then fill out template and let more respond. Things like water parameters “in check” will not be as helpful as actual numbers, and specifics of the tank environment. No one wants to make a complete guess when there is a fish life possibly on the line and with out a more complete picture we are all just guessing blind. More info will help With better responses

Thanks. Ive been watching them a lot and nothing has changed.

Feel free to weight in on my anxiety about my water changes ahaha. I have another post up for that.

I’ll take a look. I have so many tanks now that I have learned that I can’t react to every little blemish. However I still keep eyes open and keep meds on hand. I’ve treated for parasites and use melafix and parafix if it’s real bad I’ll go to api general cure or maracyn .

Thank you. Pm me and I'll send some contact info so we can chat via reddit or another platform. I tend to feel like I NEED to do something. I also don't know a lot...like is 10 nitrate in 20hrs a lot?
