hi all, I have a 5' Starry Night cichlid in a fully cycled 75 gal tank along with a few baby geos and 2 EBAs. The Starry was recently introduced about 1 month ago and is the biggest fish in the tank.
The fish now has some rotten tissue on its left gill plate, and it's the only fish in the tank that has this problem. The wound has developed from bare minimum to this stage for the past a few weeks. I thought it was some scratch from fish fight initially but now it begins to worry me as it gets bigger and doesn't heal. The fish has been eating well, swimming well, very active and healthy overall, fish poop is also of normal color and form.
Could this be of some fungal infection or HITH? any cure or prevention that I can use? first post on MFK, please help thanks.
