Can you get a clearer photo taken under whiter light? Is that a C. rafflesi? They are very prone to Uronema. This fish is also very thin at its nape above its gills. I don't see any Lypmphocystis in this photo - is there a line behind the pectoral fin? That could be Uronema....Lymphocystis?
Double postBest I can get
I know getting fish shots is tough (part of my job is fish photography), but these are really tough to see. The red dorsal lesion really does look like Uronema. Now that chloroquine is so tough to get, I don’t have a good treatment to recommend. The trouble with Uronema is that it sometimes grows alongside a bacterial infection, making it even more difficult to treat. All I can suggest is a 150 ppm formalin bath with good aeration for 45 minutes daily, while dosing the treatment tank with a broad spectrum, gram negative antibiotic such as Neoplex. The prognosis is extremely guarded though....sorry.Best I can get
