Pics very blue to tell if gash or bacterial outbreak. Can you retake pics under white light showing more of the belly ?
I don’t have a QT tank up and running currently, can they not be used in the DT?Its bacterial. Quarantine fish and treat with Maracyn 2 or Kanaplex and add oxygen during treatment. A 90 bath with ruby Rally reef will also help. It may have started with injury but now has secondary bacterial infection.

Okay I’ll just set up an emergency QT tank.You don’t want to treat in display
Ruby rally pro is reef safe but takes longer
How long have you had the fish? If less than a month or so, I would be worried that this is Uronema, an internal protozoan infection. Uronema can happen later, but it is most common in newly acquired fish. In many cases, there is a concurrent bacterial infection. Uronema is an internal disease and by the time it breaks through the fish’s skin, it can’t be treated.

That would tend to rule out Uronema. I would treat as a bacterial infection as @vetteguy53081 said.A year at least
Yeah the stuff comes in tomorrow and I will QT it and treat. I’ll keep the thread updated.That would tend to rule out Uronema. I would treat as a bacterial infection as @vetteguy53081 said.

Quick question, what do you mean by add oxygen? Like a sponge filter?Its bacterial. Quarantine fish and treat with Maracyn 2 or Kanaplex and add oxygen during treatment. A 90 bath with ruby Rally reef will also help. It may have started with injury but now has secondary bacterial infection.
