Not really sure what to make of this. My largest Aequidens diadema has developed an ulcer maybe 0.4cm in diameter directly behind her anal fin. The ulcer was initially pale and flesh colored but is now black. She has a couple tiny bumps on her dorsal fin that i assume are scars from being torn up by tankmates (long ago removed) but other than that no abnormal appearance or behavior.
Active and eating. Its honestly difficult for me to get pictures because if I'm next to the tank she wont stop looking at me and following me. These were taken after a water change.
Anybody know what this could be?
