"Bumb" being an injury of some sort? Sounds like she's been hurt by another fish. If you can, seperate her in a quarantine tank and treat her with some medication like Melafix.

could it be a kind of sickness or deasease??

Do you mean bump? If it is a bump then it's almost certainly not a disease. I would rule out parasite as well. It could be an injury however.

Hi andieschweigert

Could you describe it a little better? How big is it? Does it have a color or is it just a bump under it's skin?
