CAM00392.jpg Can anyone tell me what caused this, or how to treat it? The fish is a medium sized Sunset Blushing. This pic is a bit worse than I thought it would be, but hard to get the fish to show you the right side and his white reflects a lot of light, so this is the best I could do for now.( I circled the spot in blue.) I've had a sore like this appear on one other fish...an older gold one, and I hoped it would heal if I kept the water quality up, but it never did. There's no sign of bleeding, etc, and the fish doesn't seem distressed or weak yet, but it just looks like a couple of layers of it's skin is missing in this round spot. The other fish died eventually, with the spot getting only a bit larger, but it was a fairly old fish, too. This one is no more than a year old.

Since I've had it appear on 2 fish over the past 6 months, I just figured that it must turn up on other angels now and then.
Still hoping to hear something new, and may try to get a better photo to post.

Silly fish looked at the bloodworms like they were rattlesnakes. Don't think I've ever seen that Kent's Garlic. Will shop. :)
I think he just missed that joy of feeding frenzy that comes with life in the big tank. I decided, after putting him thru 3 treatments & subsequent water changes, to return him to the big tank where he'd eat better. I can still see the affected area on his side, but I like to think it looks better. Today, however, I noticed a similar bare place, not quite as regular in shape, but basicallly oval, on the side of one of my blue angels. It's always been a tough and health individual, and I'm starting to wonder, could my large clown loaches have anything to do with this? I've never seen one of them hit/bite an angelfish in there, but I do have 3 large ones, 5-6 inches and Thick! in there. Can't think what else would be fast enough to hit an angel and knock off an area that size in one hit. Anyone had any experiences with batterings from their large loaches?
