Either a small fungal infection or a bacterial infection of columnarius bacteria. If it went away on its own then you don't have to worry about it, but if it won't go away then try rubbing it with s little dab of potassium permanganate. Along with that raise the salt concentration to about 0.3% this should do the trick.

∙ 14y agoIt could well be an ulcer. These usually only occur if the condition of the water the fish is in is bad. Please read the following basic rules of fish keeping and follow them. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every fish tank needs a continuously running cycled filter. :- Every fish tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you follow the above rules you will have few problems keeping fish healthy and the current illness (ulcer) may well go away. If you fail in any of them I can guarantee that your fish will constantly be getting sick and dying.
