Hello all! 

Wish my first post wasn’t in this section, but here I am. I noticed a white spot today on one of my guppy fry. Initially thought it was ich, but the more I look at it, the less I’m sure. There are tons of fry, some cherry shrimp, and some cory cats in the tank, and I have not seen spots on anything else. 
 

ammonia: 0

nitrite: 0

nitrate: 10

ph: 7.4-7.6

Temp: 74 F

Like you said, it’s a little hard to tell. It looks raised off the scales a bit. I can’t tell if it is fuzzy or not though. As far as eating goes, I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. Multiple feedings a day and eating like a little pig at each of them. No rapid breathing or signs of lethargy. And no hanging out at the surface (or more than normal I guess).

It's more than likely an injury what i would do is add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table for 5 gallon at that level it shouldn't harm your plants and monitor for a week if it's starts to get worse then I would treat with a broad spectrum antibiotic treatment such kanaplex or maracyn2
