Hello,
A little over a week ago, I purchased a kamohara fang blenny, and it is currently in QT with a clownfish and an orange spot blenny. One immediate concern of mine was that it had a crooked spine, in which it never swam swam straight and constantly had its head bent. It still ate and acted normal, so I largely ignored it. Next, it developed what looked like ich, which disappeared rather quickly under copper treatments. A few days later, it began to develop a brown mark on its left side, which I wasn’t sure whether or not this was related to previous health issues. These markings began to expand over the left side, and now the fish has began to lose interest in food. I am leaning towards a bacterial infection as the diagnosis, but would like to know other opinions on this matter, and what I should do to treat this. The blenny is currently under copper, but if this seems bacterial, I can switch to using an antibiotic.
A few days ago:
