Hi! I’m concerned about my gourami as he has these weird spots, some of them are raised and weird? I’m not sure if it’s a bacterial infection, fungal, or injuries? Cancer? It started with the spot near his eye and spread. : (
If anyone can tell what this is, or what type of problem it is, I’d be very grateful!
Tank/fish info if you need that:
– Stock is one 3 spot gourami, 8 pencilfish, 5 lamp eye tetras and an otto in 46 gallons
– water changes once every 1-2 weeks
-nitrate is 0, ph is 7-ish, temp is about 78F
– I’ve had him since he was a baby, he’s about 3 years old now and has never had any other issues
– I haven’t seen the other fish bothering him but I know they’re not in my sight 24/7 so it could be the others

I don’t know how to ID it, but just in case someone more well versed in gourami doesn’t show up, I’ve heard there is a disease that is extremely common in gouramis because of the the breeding/selling is handled; this might be it, but a couple google searches could help to confirm/deny that
