hey,
everybody, saw this on my female geophagus columbian/venzuela couple of months back when i first got it,

what the hell is it!
i've been told it will go away but it aint, i've been dosing salt and doing frequent water changes since

they eat hikari bio gold, hikari algae wafers, sera vipagran, nls and more

theres even more now, and its really red, behind it is like meat dangling lol

pics are around 2months old maybe more

some guys have told me its common but i havent seen it before.

my friend mark's altifrons manaus also has it to, he doesnt seem to know what it is, but he has had it on his fish for quite sometime, but my one looks like its getting worse,
she doesnt seem to be affected about it, she still eats and is one hell of a pig

your help would be much appreciated

cheers,
Jonathan
