Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph.
Spots on the head are usually columnaris, is it a greyish white colour, any red tinging in the spot.

How many gallons is the tank, not very good at working tank sizes out.
I would treat the spot as bacterial for now.

gota say i would still be inclined to follow wilders advice. even though your fish is not acting up. i've been her a while. i have learned to listen to wilders advice.

ok so im thinking wilder you know your stuff and i need to act.what would you treat with? i do have some waterlife myxazin (broad spectrum bactericide) any good?

Columnaris spots are not always easy to get rid of.
Myxazin and pimafix.
Good luck.
