What’s causing this?

So I had this Senegal arrive nearly dead and I was able to revive her with some TLC, then I noticed another sen biting her and her eye looked swollen and red and moved her to a hospital tank yesterday morning, today I notice this rash looking thing on her side.
The parameters in both tanks she’s been in are good, the water she arrived almost dead in was green and smelled very foul. Any help is appreciated

Looks like an infection stemming from the transportation or injury to me. I would treat with some antibiotics. Not sure of the doseage to use for Polypterus.

Thank you, is there a specific medication you recommend?

follow the directions for full dosage and max treatment time of Seachem Kanaplex.

Never reduce the manufacturer's dosing for antibiotics, it doesn't matter if its scaleless, has scales or ancient.

My LSF didn’t have that but had RubyReef rally pro that they recommended, think that would work?

Not really. Try triple sulfa or maracyn2.

I called around some other places and found the kanaplex, so fingers crossed, the eye actually looks the same as the scales in the picture, so maybe it wasn’t an injury, guess we’ll see
Thanks for the help
