White Bump or Cyst on Green Neon Tetra

[swivvr]

I have noticed a small white bump on the side of my green neon tetra. The tetra is the smallest out of the school. I need some help on identifying what it exactly is and what I should do about it. Should I put it in the quarantine tank? There is also another tetra that looks like it can't keep itself straight and it always is trying to.

pH: 6.4-6.8

Ammonia: 0 ppm

Nitrite: 0 ppm

Nitrate: <30

Temperature: About 78 Degrees Fahrenheit

Honestly. You don’t really need to know exactly what it is. If you’re unsure, remove them, and treat them with a trio of meds that covers everything. You’ll end up spending more time trying to figure out what it is rather than treating the fish

Possible start of neon tetra disease or it could be a type nematode in fish's tissue what I would do is a course of Expel p treat once a week for 3 weeks

Please post update after you treat... I'm following closely since mine has a white bump on it's nose...
