What is this on my flower horn

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
not a problem, good luck. Iodine is great for the actual sores and lesions, unfortunately it doesn't help the internal infection BUT that combined with the general cure and I'll bet your fish is good as new in a few weeks.

can you guys get methylene blue there at all?
No we can't get methylene blue. I wish we could, I read online it was good.
 
Out of curiosity and to cover another possibility here...his lips aren't swelled up are they? Is he eating regularly? swimming actively?
No his lips are not swelled up they are naturally like that he swims normally and eats like a pig. That's why I thought it was just a cut to his lip. Probably from the Raphael catfish. He like to bully them but they can stick up for them selves as you can imagine.

ok just wanted to cover the possibility of this being a far worse condition than I was thinking initially.
