Today I noticed that each of my 3 Zebra Danio's have a white bump on their tail fin. I looked up fish diseases, but none of them seem to describe what I see. Ich is described as multiple small white spots the size of a grain of salt. They each only have one bump that is a bit larger than a grain of salt.
Does anyone know what this is? Is it something I should be worried about?

I'm unable to get a picture of them. They don't stay still long enough!!! Mad

Also, it doesn't match any of the fungus descriptions either. It doesn't look "cottony" as they describe.

It looks similar to that, but they aren't as round and maybe a tiny bit larger. Maybe I should treat them for Ich just to be on the safe side?

Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and treat.
