The intercellular Uronema is not treatable using a bath - the protozoans are down in the muscles and bath medications cannot reach them. By the time you see the red lesion it is too late - sorry.

It also isn't super-contagious. In fact, you may see other chromis in the group develop it, but they were already carrying it when you got them. I've only had one apparent case where a parrotfish seems to have picked it up from some sick chromis.

That said, I always wait at least 14 days from when I last lost a fish before adding a new one. Since I always quarantine new fish, and since that takes 6+ weeks, I don't have to worry about that.

That still grossly resemble Uronema, but that type of infection would have proven fatal long ago, so it must be something else.

It is just so interesting because it has gone from the first image pictured, to a red that looked like blood, to the final image which looks almost like it’s healing

Update?

The red mark went away and he began to be okay. But then the other chromi started picking on it and attacking it. As of last night it passed away and somehow it became smaller than the other one even thought it used to be bigger
