so I was just feeding my pacu some algae pellets and out of nowhere it just snapped. It shot himself against a big piece of driftwood and took a chunk out of his gill plate. As I was inspecting the chunk missing I noticed he had a peculiar dark spot in his nostril. It looks like he must have sniffed up a chunk of maybe old carbon or a rock or something.
It looks quite painful and irritating. This being said he still hasn't finished the pellets I gave him. Anyone who has a pacu knows this is highly unusual. Has anyone ever dealt with this before? Is there something I can do? Do I need to get clove oil and some tweezers? Am I freaking out for nothing? Any help appreciated.
