Was away for a few days came home and my flowerhorn/green terror mix had this on him. He's not eating and it looks horrible. His purple rose queen mate seems just fine.

Looks like the issue Calibigrob had on his pike, which he used an epsom salt to treat it. You can ask him the dosage he used in the 40g tank. calibigrob calibigrob

how is he fish doing? it looks like a mass or more likely infection/ruptured abscess. Can you put him in his own tank? Can kind of change how we treat him
