Can you post stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph.
If there no signs of flicking and rubbing I would treat it as bacterial for now.
Can you issolate the fish for treatment.

 

[cane76]

ammonia/nitrite are 0,nitrates are 50 and ph 7.5/8
no chance of issolation she is way to big,im gonna start treating with melafix tomorrow and thats all i can think of besides small daily water changes

I would add melafix. From the vague pictures looks maybe like a heater burn style mark? I'm not saying thats what it is, but that's what it seems to look a little like to me.

im gonna get some melafix first thing in the morning and start treating after a water change and hope for the best.
heaters have gaurds on them so that rules that out,im hoping its a injury caused by another fish or a impact with the bogwood.
thx for the replies

melafix primafix or eShas 2000 if you think its a parasite

i have a eye op on friday so i will be off the computer for 1-2 weeks so i hope it heals up fine melafix works fine

 

[cane76]
