This is Bernie (see attached), he's about 4.5yrs old, just over 11.5 inches and I've had him his whole life.
I've literally never run into a single problem with him, he's truly a champ. About a year ago he developed a small white spot on the top of his head, his water quality was fine and I couldn't identify any other external stressors. It stayed unchanged until about 2 weeks ago and now I feel like it's a bit more present on the top of his head.. I'm just unsure if this is truly a fungus infection and am looking for some guidance. He's never been fridged so I'm a little apprehensive unless I know for sure it's fungus. I don't really see anything much in his gills. Please advise on of you believe he could have some type of fungus or other illness. Thanks in advance.
