Rainbowfish Illness

Hi guys,

Would anyone be able to identify this illness and advise treatment? On his tail and side. Originally thought he’d caught himself on something and damaged his scales.

Thanks!

I think your first diagnosis might be correct. The injury looks like a scrape type abrasion.
Besides parasites, Exterior illnesses on a fish manifest themselves as viral growths (Lymphocystis) or bacterial infections like (Columnaris) symptom, A white skin discoloration.

I’m hoping that’s all it is! Just a bit concerned as the scales appear quite lifted.
