Hello! First time posting here, hoping Iā€™m doing it in the right place. My female gold ram has a white mark on her tail and a red mark on her face. This showed up over night. From last night at 7pm when I feed and shut off lights, to 8am today when I do morning feed. Sheā€™s also quite thick and is about to breed with the male. Need some help if itā€™s a injury or fungus. Sorry about bad quality pics.
Parameters- 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate, 83Ā°f
Tank inhabitants(20 gal)- 6 neon tetras, 5 Pygmy cories, 2 gold rams, and a snail.

The red patch in her face is a sinus infection.
Do a 75% water change and gravel clean the substrate every day for 2 weeks. Make sure nay new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine before it's added to the tank.

Clean the filter if it hasn't been done in the last 2 weeks. However, don't clean the filter if it's less than 6 weeks old.

You can add rock salt, sea salt or swimming pool salt to the tank to help with the fungus and infection. Add 2 heaped tablespoons per 20 litres of water. Add salt to the buckets of water when you do a water change. Keep the salt in the tank for 2 weeks, then stop adding it.

How would she have gotten a sinus infection? No idea that fish could get them. Will follow your instructions though!
