Help - Goldflake (chunks)

[ROBONE20]

I got this Goldflake Angel that I had for a year or so. He's got chunks of his body missing. Not sure what its from. His scales in the area seem to protrude, its reddening in the area and its in both sides of his body. He eats like a pig but his body seems to be getting deformed. Looks skinny on the sides as well. I feed 2-3x's a day (frozen and pellets). I think he may be getting picked on by my Queen Angel but what should I use to treat it. Should I take him out and treat him in a QT? He eats very well. He's in a 240 gallon FOWLR.

If you suspect the Queen angel may be causing this, I would QT just to separate them. He might just need some TLC. Soak his food in vitamins to boost his immune system to accelerate the healing. If the sores get worse in QT, you might need to treat with antibiotics.

Move at once, keep qt water pristine, might have to use antibiotics. Tank is too small to house a queen with mild anglefish. You'll have to re-home the queen or goldflake.
