Possible fungi on mopani wood in bioactive enclosure???

Hello everyone! Im curious about the Mopani wood thats inside of my snakes Bioactive enclosure and Im wondering if its mold or just healthy bacteria that needs some clean up crews which I have yet to add 🫠 (springtails and isopods)

I did some research on Mopani wood and apparently its normal for this to happen???. But with my snake inside of this enclosure with 80% humidity, i want to make sure its safe and she wont get harmed. If its bad, I'll make sure to remove it immediately.

(I made sure to wash it then fire it inside of my oven for a couple hours before I added it in. Plus I left it in for a week before I moved my snake into the enclosure and everything seemed okay.)

Is my Gourami pregnant or is this something else..?

Hello! This is my first time in this reddit and I need some help... I have two Gourami's. The first 2 photos is the fish I have concerns about, the third and fourth is the other one (currently in isolation for Iridovirus).

I had previously gotten these two from a fish store, but I wasnt sure how to sex them but they look vastly different from eachother. So i assumed they were just a male and female pair I had gotten.

Both of them got Iridovirus the first week we brought them in, we treated what we could but lost 2 other Gourami's. The fish in the photos had Iridovirus in that spot but its showing on both sides of her body as if shes(?) pregnant AND its been growing.

So im curious if its a tumor or if she(???) Is pregnant.

Whats your thoughts? Anything I can do?🫠 I'm really lost, and if its a tumor I dont want her to suffer with one.
