Treat the other fish also?Fin looks like a bite or injury
fish itself appears to have velvet. I would recommend copper based treatment for velvet but the sore can develop into a bacterial issue. Although it works slower, I’m thinking ruby rally pro in a quarantine setting which will address both velvet and bacterial issues with added aeration during treatment
Yes- I would assume they do have dots all over themTreat the other fish also?
Monitor ammonia levels and increase oxygen during treatment with addition of air stoneNone others are showing spots. They’re in QT tank now.
I agree, that does look like a parasite. Since the fish is still eating, I would say ich. However, some species of filefish have all sorts of skin tags an spots on them, so it isn't clear how severe the issue actually is (yet).My filefish has this sore that I noticed today on his back. He also seems to have sores on sides. I’ve had him about 3 weeks. Has been eating and swimming well, still doing fine. I’ve now put him in another compartment with air stone. Treat for ich or something else?
