Major problem with ram!!!!

[ftf1101]

My german ram has a very bulbus ... thing growing on its head! i have no idea what it could be. One of my neon tetras has a similar coloered ball near his tail. On the ram it looks like on cartoons when they get hit by a hammer and the lump just keepes getting bigger! please help and thanks in advance. :help:

Do you have a picture? That would probably help out a ton with diagnosis. Other than that can you please post the following:

Water parameters? (ammonia/nitrite/nitrate/ph)
Tank size?
Other tank mates?
How long has the tank been set up?
Any recent additions?
What is your water change schedule like?
