I have a 1 year old female WC cross F1 brazillian blue glitter angel that looks like she has a bloody nose. She's in a 55 gallon tank with 6 small juveniles.
1/4 water changes weekly
Sponge filter
Water temp 82
Live planted tank swords java ferns etc.
Tetra flakes Hikari Staple med pellet live bbs*
Its only affecting her left side.
She's eating fine, swimming and seem to be doing fine.
I'm concerned but should I be worried?

Thanks X

It can be any number of things going on. Photos would be most helpful.

What are your water parameters? Do you use paper test strips or liquid testing kits? 9 times out of 10 issues are identified by knowing the water parameters.

A red nose can be a sign of ammonia or even from fighting with tankmates as well as early signs of disease.
