Cardinal tetra with ulcers

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I noticed one of the cardinal tetras I’ve had for several months has developed what appears to be ulcers which protrude from its body. You can see the rather large ulcer on one side and now more seem to be developing on the other. The ulcers appear a flesh colour not white. Does anyone know what this may be and how to treat/should I euthanise? Thanks and sorry if photos aren’t clear.
