Hi there,
I started noticing the scales on the side of one of my Bala Sharks start raising about a week ago. Thought maybe he got in a bit of a tussle with another fish and suffered a wound. However, it has now grown into this mess on his side. I’ve started a treatment of Melafix for a bacterial infection but I’m unsure if I see results yet. Any ideas as to what this is/what I can do to heal it? He’s acting normal and eating, but now has this on his side.
Water Parameters:
PH: ~7
Nitrates: ~15
Hardness:~11
Nitrites: ~.25
Ammonia: 0 (just did 50% water change, did not check before doing weekly 50% change)
Water Temp: 79 Degrees
Any help is appreciated,
Jon
