I bought this beautiful clownfish at a Black Monday sale, so right about 1 month ago. While I was acclimating her I noticed she had what I thought was a wound on her side, near her gills. In fact when I took photos of it I could actually see the gill structure. It is very hard to see in real life because she is so dark and the bad area is right along where black meets white and looks like it is just a marking. The flash photos really make it show up.
So, thinking it was just a wound I did nothing but make sure she was well fed and had good stable water parameters. She has done well and eats like a pig but the wound has not changed one bit in a month. Hasn't gotten bigger or smaller.
Last week I decided to treat her with Furan II in case it is a bacterial infection. I've got her in a hospital tank and I've done one full four day course and am now repeating it. She is still eating well and seems to feel fine. I see no change in the wound.
Does anyone have an opinion for me on what this is? Any hope of it getting better? How long do you think I should keep her in the hospital tank, and do you think I should do more treatments or use a different medication?
Thank you for any advice.
Susan
