the fuzzyness is gone but now this is there it is larger and uglier than before i am using copper-safe and aquarium salt. i dont know what it is i think its a bacterial infection please help me identify it and save our families fish
You're using the wrong treatments, Sun. That fish needs more than copper-based treatments. Get betadine and douse the wound carefully with it. Get a hospital tank and isolate the fish there. It needs clean water to allow the wounds to heal. Store some Maracyn and Maracyn 2 just in case. It would not hurt if you mix kanaplex or maracyn and maracyn 2 on its food to allow it to ingest the antibiotics.
