Strange hole on Flowerhorn

[4D3]

I few days ago I noticed my fh had bashed himself in a rock.

There are no other fish in with him other than pleco.

I got home today and it was double the size it was yesterday, and seems to have white fluff on it.

He is eating well, very active, water parameters are 0,0,0.

The medications I have available are:

Potassium Permanganate (I could bath him?)
Metro
Doxycyline
Tetracycline
Amoxycillin

Just behind his eye

Anyone?

water perams should never be 0,0,0 shuold be showing nitrate, clean pristine water best way to treat an injury.

Water parameters are correct, API Master kit.

Tank been running for 8 months, my filter media denitrifies.

Is it actually an injury or fungal?

you can do a fin level water change, dose the tank with prime or safe for size of tank not water replacing, then dose with medifix and pimefix. but again pristine water. this does not help will need to move into something more aggressive.

again I hear what you are saying for water test. nitrates should never be 0, I am not looking to challenge you, just trying to help, can you please explane exactly how you do you nitrate test?

I just wanted to comment on the api products. Im not bad mouthing their stuff, but what made me switch to Sera was when I ran both tests along with another brand (i forget) both the Sera and other brand were reading X X X, while the api was reading something off of those two results. Ymmv of course.

I bring up the nitrate test because I was guilty of it, and have found allot are not just me. test bottle number 2 needs the pee shook out of it, and i mean hard for a good 2 minutes, your arm will get tired, beat it on a desk, what ever before adding the 10 drops to the test vile.

If his media is pulling the nitrogen out quick enough, his peramiters should be correct

there is nothing to pull nitrate unless he has a large pond out side with lots of plants and on a drip system, only way to remove nitrates is a water change, i wish there was. save me a 500 gallon a week water change.
