GGobblin Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 My Hero Severum had what I think is a wound on his side. Was not there yesterday. He is about 5 1/2 inches long and thick. Eats well and great color, appears very healthy. I'm thinking he might have scraped himself on an edge of lava rock which I have throughout the tank. Just hoping it's not disease, but I don't think so. Wanted to get additional opinions. I will add some extra salt at next water change, maybe help him heal ? Add stress coat ? Any input would be appreciated 👍 Thx GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGobblin Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Yeah, don't think it's hole in the head. Fish is not lacking in nutrition or vitamins, minerals. I add them. It looks fresh, like he tore skin on rocks, just not 100%. Yes I'll monitor, don't want bacterial infection to set in. Appreciate the input.
