Not sure what else to call it.

My tank has been cycled and growing since August 2007, with only the loss of a few snails.

Now, I noticed yesterday one of my 4 rasboras with this red growth in it's stomach. It seems to have a few white spots in the mass too. And today one of my mature angels died moments after I had looked at the tank and it was swimming and acting normally.

The chemicals are stable, weekly 30% water changes, and recently added java ferns.

Here are the best I could do with getting a close up. I put the rasbora in a temporary container so that I could take the picture. Unfortunately I don't have an available tank to quarantine in.

Any thoughts or suggestions. I have already done a 30% water change today with Prime to condition it.

Wow that nasty I would end the fish misery if you think the fish is in pain.
Looks like a tumour to me.
 
The fish doesn't seem to be in pain. It is swimming and eating normally and staying close to the other rasboras as it always has.
 
There nothig to be done bless him.
If he goes down hill anymore I would do the awful deed.
