Yeah it seemed to just appear, but it hasn't gone down any other the last few weeks. Doesn't seem to be bothering the fish at all mind. Still swimming about and eating fine. Is there any treatments for a abscess you know?Did this show suddenly, or grow over some weeks? While it could be an abscess, it could also be a tumor (the latter tend to develop more slowly).

It likely isn't a tumor then. Because an abscess is well walled off by the fish (as a defense against the infection) antibiotics are not easily delivered inside it. If the spot is stable, you should consider just leaving it as the only other option I see is to try and aspirate it with a tuberculin syringe/needle.Yeah it seemed to just appear, but it hasn't gone down any other the last few weeks.
