MBU Puffer white patch

[sevenaces]

Hi All,

I have a MBU puffer about 5 to 6 inch. Recently, it has developed a small circular white patch, looks like a sunken white patch. Not sure whether if he got bitten by another smaller MBU or not, i took it out 2 days ago into a small tank. looks like the patch is not getting any better. Can i know what is that and how to make it better? He's fine, eating and swimming. Just want to let the white patch heal faster.

Thanks!

The picture is not enough to really say anything. A bite sounds reasonable, tho I would have expected more to see it being bitten in the fins.

Clean water and as little stress as possible helps the most. I personally would ad tannins/humins aswell to lower bacterial growthrate and count in the water. If the wound infects it can take forever to never to heal.

its been about a week plus since my post. his situation is getting a little bad although the white patch has recovered after treating with kana plus and furan plus. could it be Fish TB that he is infected with? the curved spine just came about in a few days before I treated him with kana plus and furan plus together with floating. I have used epsom salt treatment for about 5 to 6 days and he began sinking to the bottom. he is eating fine thou but not alot.

So sad…
I hope for recovery
but doesn’t look favorable from here
I do hope I’m wrong and it does recover
as long as it eats there is hope

Please just end his misery. I know its unpolite to just say it like that but I don't think there is any way to save him.

I am sorry it went down that way.
