one of my zebra danios has a sort of white lump on his bottom lip, has anyone ever seen this before, is it serious?

i wouldnt say it was fluffy, i'd say it was a little larger than this dot . ( hopefully you dont have some sort of huge computer that would make the dot look huge :) ) it looks to me like its growing on the outside of the skin. any ideas?

It could be mouth rot, velvet, ich or any other number of diseases. You can look around some fish disease sites to see if the description matches anything. When there's only one small spot, it's almost impossible to diagnose unless you have seen it before. It's possible it is a small abrasion that will heal in a few days.

Unless anyone has any other ideas, I would keep an eye on it, and read up online about fish diseases.
