Hello,
I noticed about a week ago that my Fantail goldfish had a strange white bump on the left side of his head. I examined it closer and felt that it was kind of squishy.
I don't have the materials to check the ammonia or anything like that, but the condition of my tank is currently a bit dirty; I've been away on vacation and I haven't had a chance yet to clean it. But, I also noticed that a little bit before I noticed the bump, some brown algae started growing. Does this have any correlation with it?
Whatever the reason, I would appreciate some advice on what it is/what to do. Or maybe even point me to a website where I can diagnose.
Below are two pictures of my goldfish and the bump.

The bump is just above his gill.
Thanks.
