Meet Rocky, just your average 3 inch fantail with a wonky mouth (hence being called Rocky ). Approx 6 months ago he had a raised bump on his side that literally appeared overnight. Within a few days it disappeared by itself and left a more pinkish tinge behind. We thought nothing more of it.
Last night he developed another one lower down (it wasn't there the morning prior) and the old 'scar' has pinked up again. The entire side of him is visably swollen and the scales are seperating - hes puffed up much, much more this time. This morning one scale has come away leaving what looks like a fleshy wound underneath. I've tried to capture it in the photo but its difficult when hes moving around so much and I have a cheapy camera.
Hes eating and swimming normally and seems his normal self, but obviously this needs urgent attention. Water tests came up normal (although I am addressing a water cloud at the moment) and the two other fish in the tank are fine.
Any help/advice appreciated.
