My albino girl has had a pink fin for a while that’s turned into a lumpy growth :( she eats and moves normally. She shares the tank with another female, and I wondered if they’d been fighting? I feed them at opposite ends of the tank and they both have driftwood and tunnels. They’ve been in there together for about 6 months as my other tank was decommissioned. I have increased the water changes and added aquarium salt. Is there anything else I can do to help her?

the spot looks like a tumour, but tumors dont always have the red around it
 
Looks like tumour indeed. No treatment for those.
 
I have zero knowledge as to what that really is...but before reading any comments my gut said, that is some sort of a tumor. Whether it's something benign or not is another question...not even sure if fish get tumors that are harmful or just simple growths
