Tigrinus with open sores.

Anyone know what these are? I just noticed them a few days ago. Tig is still eating great. Behavior has not changed.

Nobody?

IDK bro.. I would treat with a med for now. But that's obvious I'm sure. I've always had good luck with fish penecillon for external growths. But I'm not sure what would 'cause such leisons. Almost like something on the bottom is bothering him? Or just by chance his disease is only attacking his underside?

Bump for more info. Help for that big guy.

Ummm only on the bottom of the fish? Whats your substrate?

Something to do with Dermatitis maybe?

Thanks for the responses guys. I have bare bottom tank and there have been no new fish. As much as I am ashamed to admit I believe it was a water quality issue. I recently cleaned out my wet dry for the first time in a loooong time and I should have turned my pumps off because it leached a ton of crap into the tank. I bet the ammonia spiked after this. I did not feed for five days, cranked the drip system way up, and added salt. He is near 100% now. I'm very relieved. I would hate myself if I lost this guy.

Those don't look like typical ammonia burns. Good to hear he is better though.
