Cherry Barb Mouth issue

Subject: Cherry Barb Mouth issue

Hello everyone,

Sorry it has been so long but I'm have a cherry barb with a mouth/jaw problem and this was the first place I thought to come for help.

An adult male cherry has his mouth fully open with some colour distortion and what looks like a tiny blob of cotton wool inside, a bit like a mouth ulcer (?) He doesn't seem distressed but it is distressing to look at so he must be in pain. I also haven't seen him eat.

We had an ammonia spike a few weeks ago but is back under control now and this has just appeared.

The gravel is black and about 3 mm (very fine) so I don't believe he has anything stuck

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10-20
pH 6.8

350 L tank
17 cherry barbs
15 x ray tetras
6 otos
1 bristle nose plec
