my long nose hawk has what appears to be a tear or growth at the very top of the gill on the right side. that side of the gills isn't moving nearly the way the other side is. i noticed it yesterday and there doesn't seem to be any change. the fish still has an appetite but its condition is causing it to eat less than normal. it usually pigs out as often as i'll feed & does that flutter/beg thing every time i pass by, but now is being way too selective. searching isn't getting me anywhere. i did a 20% change and i add selcon to chopped krill. what should i do?
 
Could you post a picture?
Any aggressive behavior from its tankmates? If it is an injury, I would consider QT, a well balanced diet and melafix.
