Hello!
I have had the Red Borneo GG for about 5 months now, around 2 weeks ago these 2 wounds popped up out of the blue and have only seemingly eroded further even with meds and good quality water (<20 ppm nitrate, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 7.4-7.6 PH, low to moderate hardness). Weekly water changes and uv filter have not affected these "lesions" and neither have medications (kanamycin, metro, neo consecutively) Haven't QT as I am unsure if I am dealing with a transmissible issue or if this is just a strange healing process, QT tank is cycling below the main tank, will be ready soon (meth blue to ward off secondary fungal).
I am worried it is TB as I have had a GG in a previous tank develop it and eroded to death, however it was a mouth erosion and that tank has long since been obliterated to avoid any TB possibility.
All I can come up with is possibly ulcers or maybe Ichthyosporidium(unsure of spelling).
Any advice or experience is appreciated as I am at a loss for what this is as the fish still eats, swims, and chases like normal gouramis do, no lethargey, no listlessness, no bloat.
(FIRST PIC IS BEGINNING DAY 1 [5/15], 2ND AND 3RD ARE CURRENT [6/1] )
