Hello,

have been enjoying sick free fishes in a 140ltr tank for a few months now, all perfect, conditions kept ideal in all respects, planted tank, all good all round.

One of 6 gouramies have developed a spot on the lower part of the side which is turning into some sort of a sore with raw flesh like looking wound as per the picture... Can not identify what it is and most importantly how to treat it :ermm::confused:

The spot has enlarged over the last few days and the fish is becoming slower and does not eat, so I think it is on the last stretch before long... Would it be parasitic and get onto another fish, should I remove it now ?

Thanks guys and sorry for a spoiler...
