Is this a gill problem?

[BadObsession]

My gf’s regal angel have something on its gills. Not sure what it is, if it is normal or not.

So far she said it is healthy, acting and eating well. But we are just wondering what this could be.

Rest of the fish are healthy as well.

Thanks!

I think the light was white at that time, but the background aquarium color was blue. Lol.

Anyway here are other pics but so hard cuz the fish keeps swimming around.

Please furnish same pics under white light intensity, not blue as trying to determine if injury, skin tag, isopod or such
Is fish eating and breathing normal?

How long has she had the fish?
Is the lesion only on the fish's right side gill area?

I can see some subdermal redness. That could be a bacterial infection or an injury. Whiter pics would help, as could a video.

Yes will do so tomorrowZ

Anyway yeah right side.

She had the fish for 5 months now. Always been healthy, and eats a lot even now.

Still isn’t easy to see. I’d have to stick with either an injury or a bacterial infection.
With no other symptoms, I’d consider doing nothing. The treatment for a bacterial disease would be to move the fish to a treatment tank and dose with a broad spectrum gram negative antibiotic like Neoplex. Doing that has some risk, so she might want to just observe the fish for other symptoms for now, but be prepared to treat if things change.
