Me being paranoid again!

Hi, I noticed the thicklip love of my life has this single white spot on her caudal fin. It’s only one, it’s gotten more noticeable through the week but it hasn’t spread and no other fish have spots. No evidence of ich, no flashing. The male gourami chases the ladies because he is trying to nest in a corner so I see them being slightly rough. I’d love to hear that I’m worrying about nothing! I love reassurance!

Note: She is acting 100% normal, eating normally, swimming normally, and generally acting fine. Just this one spot that's got me uptight.

Ammonia 0

nitrite 0

ph 8

nitrate about 30 to 40

temp at 77 degrees fahrenheit

I don't think that's anything to worry about sometimes when one of the rays in the fin is damage it can look like a spot I had in my goldfish years ago if you look at your gourami's it looks like the spots on the fin ray

That's exactly what I'm hoping it is! I noticed she dinged a few scales when she swam off from the male chasing her, too. Thanks for humoring me, Colu. 🤗
