Which animal is affected? Species, sex, age?I wouldn't want to try a diagnosis from this foto. Is it possible to take some more high-res pictures and post them together with this template filled out?
Template for disease/parasite/death cases
This template contains the most important questions to be answered when dealing with sick or dead fish to find causes and advise on treatments. Please copy and paste into a new thread and answer the questions as precise as possible. Water parameters should be given in numbers. "Fine" or "good"...apistogramma.com
Just copy / paste and fill it out. If you have no water parameters that's fine, but if you do, please don't just write "fine" or "excellent" but give us numbers. And please don't forget to add a picture of the whole tank.
Yes that is correctThis growth protrudes from the flank, is that correct?
It does come out from its body slightly.The picture makes it hard to see 3d but it looks like a scrape with the skin missing. If that is accurate some fungus might form (don't treat) and it will regrow and then the fungus will disappear on its own. If it is on the surface and not a scrape it might be bacteria.
I'm pretty sure it is missing scale if you look near the petral fin you can see the indentation where the scale should be.Lot of shots in the dark here.
