First timer posting a thread but have used information from this website a lot! I have currently had this peacock bass for about a year now. He is currently in a 220 gallon tank with a Gar and Smallmouth bass. He has recently developed head and lateral line erosion. I didnt realize the nitrate levels were that high and have fixed the problem which has stopped it from getting any worse but how can I cure him? Will these scars always be there? He is such a beautiful fish and would hate for him to always have these scars.
If you look on his spiny dorsal fin also, there is a large gap that he lost making him look like sonic the hedgehog. Is there anyway to fix this or will he always have it? I know it makes him look unique but always wondered if its fixable.
Any input or redirecting to other posts would be greatly appreciated!!! View attachment 712258
