[blackers92]

I have two siamese algae eaters, who have been fine until now,

one of them has developed a small pink pimple like growth above its nose and the other one is always fighting with it

i cannot find anything about it in any of my books

please help i dont want any of my other fish to be at risk

They get territorial the older they get. I'd advise separating them for the aggression.

EDIT:

Do you have a picture of the growth?

 

[blackers92]

they have only been in my tank for a few months though

no i cant get a decent picture, it is more of a white color now, maby 2 mm in diameter

seperate them asap they are very aggresive to each other once mature

I agree seperate. I fish will also attack another fish if its unwell.

Is the pink lump hard, or soft like filled with fluid.
What substrate do you have in the tank?
