My dwarf gourami has developed some open sore's. i have no idea what they could be.
He is fine otherwise, not bloated, still eating well, swimming fine, but his poo is white and stringy too.
Tank is the 57G as per signature.
Stats are: 0/0/10ppm for ammonia/nitrite/nitrate.
Ph has dropped recently from 7.0 to 6.4 - not sure why. He is being fed frozen bloodworms/brine shrimp and flake (no change in diet for some time). Last water change was 2 weeks ago, and they are getting another one this week.
I have been treating the tank with melafix and pimafix. Not sure if i should isolate him though, or is it something I need to treat the whole tank for. I'll try and get photos, but with my camera skills, not likely yo thappen anytime soon.
Thanks.
EDIT: only recent change was the addition of a fluval 4+ underwater filter.
His wounds are two spots near his front fins on one side of his body, and a small spot at the base of his tail. (Brown water is from large piece of driftwood in the tank).
