My 3 ft electric eel has recently developed some white ulcer looking wounds on his body. Parameters have been checked and are all good and water temp is kept at 86. Any ideas on what this is or treatment? Thank you!

I’d try and get ur nitrates down to less than 20ppm. Increase the water changes to twice a week at 50%. I’d add some salt 1 tsp per g. I would try that for now.
