I have had this Lubbocks Wrasse for a few days in quarantine (without medication).

It is eating normally and behaves generally normal.

I have noticed a white patch on his fin.

Its not spotty so i dont think its a skin disease like ich, velvet, brook.

Might be an infection or lymphocytis.

Any advice on what to do with it?
Im from Europe so i dont have a lot of medication available to me but i have cupramine, general cure and kanaplex, nls ick shield and then two sera medications: bactopur and costapur(malachite green 0.18g per 100g and formaldehyde 2g per 100g)

Thank you!

It could be Lymphocystis, but those lesions are usually seen on the fin edges.

It could also be tankmate aggression, but I didn't see any mention of a tankmate.

An antibiotic like Kanamycin would be the first thing to try I'd say.
 
Please refrain from cross posting as it offers confusion and takes away from others who too are seeking answers to their issues. I replied and agree on lympho
