1) Some of my rainbows have something at the middle of the bottom jaw that
looks like a dimple or an "Adams apple" anatomically what is this? thyroid?

2) A male rainbow, a year old, in my tank has an enlarged Adams Apple,
pathological looking, this growth is at the middle of the jaw bone joint,
behind the Adams apple, it is brown in color, somewhat triangular in shape
with a point forward. Is this an infection? deformity/injury?
Can it be cured?

Any information will be appreciated
