@Colu thank you for the response. after some looking online with some pictures it looks alot like Dermosporidia. i attacthed 2 more photos trying to get a side shot but the tetra was darting about.

pH 7.2 Nitrates 25ppm Hardness 11 Nitrite 0 Ammonia 0 KH/Buffer 120ppm Water Temperature 76f hello i had noticed a small spot on one of my cardinal tetras it was a small spot on its lips a few days ago. i originally thought maybe it hurt itself. now it has grown significantly. i may be wrong but now im thinking some sort of parasite. im fairly new to fishkeeping so im not 100% how to help it. any advice is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.my stocking currently is 10 cardinal tetra and multiple species of Corydoras that add up to about 17 corydora, they are all in a 60 gal fully planted tank with a fluval 307 and large sponge filter

im not sure what the sellers parameters were. i bought them from aqua hauna i drip acclimated them for about 3-4 hours before adding them to the tank. i do not beileve thy were adults. they were much smaller then my other shrimp i have both my gh and kh bottles dont expire until 2028 any advice on how to raise my ph easier. out of the tap its around a 7.2-7.8 ph but seems to drop over time i throw a few in there and some days its all gone the next day and sometimesthere are a few pellets left over. i do feed 5-6 pellets at a time i also see no signs of lesions or parasites
