Peacock wiith open wound........

[Brasso]

Hi, i have a orange peacock that recently developed a white cotton wool like growth about twice the size of the wound in the pics. I noticed the cotton wool covering on thursday night and when i came home friday it was like the photos. Its quite a considerable sized wound and you can't really tell from the pics but its 3-4mm deep aswell. The fish is feeding and acting as normal otherwise.
I'm more concerned about my other fish to be honest as i picked him up a few months back when i bought a full tank of fish to get a nice firefish and lithobates and he had a slight injury which i was told was due to fighting, but nothing like this.
I've dosed the tank with a fugnus and finrot treatment and have a slime and velvet one to use if this doesent help.
Any ideas?

Try using maracyn or copper safe on him also

Definately put him in a hospital tank with salt and use prime with water changes 3 times a week at least.

did he make it?

Decided to put him out of his misery as the hole appeared to be getting deeper and he was getting worse each day Other fish are fine so still puzzled as to what it was

I'm sorry you had to do that, but it probably was the most humane thing you could do. kudos.

That was a bad wound. I haven't had anything like that. Sorry to hear for your loss.
