As according to the sick fish number thingy:
1) No idea! This is my mom's tank. Not that I know anything about my tank.
2) Okay, here goes...
55 Gallon fw with: 8 Zebra Danios, 4 Penguins, 6 Cories, 2 Yo-Yo Loaches, 2 Bala Sharks, 4 Platies, 2 Glass Ghost Catfish, 2 Kuhli Loaches, 1 Male Guppy, 3 Kissing Gouramis, 1 Skunk Loach, 1 Red-Tailed shark, 2 Severums, 3 Angels, 1 Flying Fox, 1 Pleco, 4 Golden Killies, 1 Dwarf Gourami.
3) Bloodworms every night, Flakes every morning. Water Changes every other week, about 40-50%
4) 40% Water change on Saturday. Lost an angel due to pop eye that day.
5) Currently have 1 yo-yo loach and female guppy (birth trauma) in QT tank (10G). This was an improvised tank. Took water from my 100G, water from the old 10G, and water from the old 20G and set it up. Didn't cycle, all the water already was old tank water, no new water.

First off, this is NOT MY TANK!!!! It's my mom and little brother's tank from my fish that busted it and went to the 100G. It is a combination of their fish. The Severum has a red pimple-like thing on it. See pics

How do you test your water?
It looks like some type of cyst.

I don't think that this is very necessary. You ask people for help yet you cannot provide them with the information that may be critical in determining what it may be.

All the other 50 or so fish are acting fine, so I think that the water might possibly be inhabitable. See pic for better pixelation if it worked :(

And I just want to know what it is called. If you want to add more info, that'd be great, but I can use the internets to help me too. Thanks a lot, guys! It's not ich, i'm positive.
