Is this an infection? Or a wound?


EPMH59

Recommended Posts

I got this Royal Gramma last Monday, so this coming Monday will be 2 weeks. I noticed shortly after bringing it home that it came from the LFS like this, and I wish I noticed it at the store. By this point 2 weeks later, the marks are still on it’s body, but it hasn’t seemed to get worse, it’s been eating voraciously, and is very active. Today I noticed some of it is beginning to peel off, similar to a scab. Any ideas? If it is an infection I wouldn’t even know what to treat for or what medication to grab.

 

First picture is a day or 2 after getting him, latter 2 are today.

Probably a bacterial infection: 

The good news is it doesn't sound like an overly virulent infection if the fish has lived with it for 2 weeks. However, I would still pull and treat because it seems unlikely for him to overcome this without the aid of ABX:
