I noticed yesterday during feeding my green terror/gold saum had what looked like a piece of his lip torn halfway off and it was swaying in the current and still attached. he ate fine and he does get in fights with the gourami so i decided to just keep an eye on it. I looked at him again tonight and it almost looks more like a growth coming off of the top of his lip.

i wanted to post some pics to get some opinions but between the glare from the flash and the other fish in the tank it was really hard to get a good picture of it. this is the best i could do:

not sure if you can make it out in those pictures...hopefully you can see what i am talking about. What do you think?

It's kind of hard to tell from the pics, but it doesn't look red, so may well be a battle scrape with loose skin. If it's not fungus it should heal up with time and clean water. I would just keep an eye on it for now.
