My Opaline Gourami has an issue around his gill. Can't really tell if it is gill or right below the gill plate. (attached some pics). He is in a community tank 56G column, filtering with Fluval 405, been doing 25% pwc every day. Tank has been cycled and occupied for approx 5 months. There has been no new deco or anything. Tucked the fish in for the night on Thursday and woke up Friday to this. My paramaters temp 82f (been a little warm here, heater set to 78), ammo 0, Nitrite 0, nitrate 40, PH 7.6 using the API master test kit. He also is not eating for the last two days. I even tried bloodworms, normally he is first in line, with nothing last night, not even a nibble.
I do have a 2G I can set up with some water and gravel from the main aquarium if I need to quarantine him.
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated, I don't want to lose this guy.
