ph 6.6, ammonia 0, nitrite0, nitrate 10. I havent seen it until recently hiding in the back corner. it moves just fine but doesnt move as much us the other fishes. will move when there is food. its only on one side of the body

It could be caused by heater burn or it's badly scraped it side I think the best course of treatment would be to quarantine and treat with Aquarium salt 1 table for 5 gallon and a course of maracyn2 in food as the active ingredient minocycline has anti-inflammatory properties and will cover against any possible secondary bacteria infection

do you happen to have the names of products that have maracyn2? I live in canada and some products are hard to find.

It's antibiotic medication so it won't be available in Canada what I would do is quarantine and treat with Aquarium salt 1 table for 2 gallons and monitor for a week @zodiak245
