This might be a long shot and I don’t know if it’s an emergency, but wondering if anyone could tell me what this spot might be in my honey gourami. Water parameters are all good, no other fish affected. It doesn’t seem to affect him at all either, but it is a little concerning to me none the less. Hard to take pictures of the little guy, he’s active and a quick swimmer, but I got a few. Any help you’ll be appreciated. Thank you!

I’ve noticed he also doesn’t use his fun on that side very much, it’s there and he does use it once in awhile, but not like the other one.
 
Sorry no one has been able to help you yet.
I think @Jan Cavalieri has the same issue so you might want to compare notes?
Have a look at Colin's advise on this thread:
The large daily water changes and salt are good starting points if you don't know what's wrong.
 
Unfortunately, it appears that whatever it was caused his untimely death :-( I took all the steps, did what I could, and it seemed that he was actually getting better, but this morning I found him passed away. The funny thing is, he never really acted sick, he had even started using his fin again, he never stopped eating and never switched from his regular behavior. I’m probably just seeing things, but his female partner seems a little distraught today. They had been inseparable from the time they decided they liked each other instead of just hiding in their separate spaces :-( The wild colored males seem to be in short supply, I hope I can find another one and they get along.
 
That's a shame Nick, sorry for your loss.
