I have an iridescent shark which seems to have problems. It has a white patch on the top of it's head. I can't tell if this is an infection or bite mark. It looks like it is an indentation in the skin of the fish. It seemed to get better for a bit but is now prominent again. The fins of the shark seem a little ragged as well. The shark seems to swim around normally
There are other fish in the tank that are not exhibiting any of these characteristics. Although I have a Rainbow shark in the tank which seems to chase all the fish around the tank all the time. He could be the culprit
I have read about Ichthyophthirius (White Spot) and Hexamita, just in case it is something bacterial, I have started treating him with anti-biotics.
How can I tell if the white mark is bacterial or a bite?
Thanks
Marc
