Black injured patch on royal gramma

[skyrye7]

Hi

My royal gramma seem to have one injured black patch on one side of its body. The other side is perfectly normal.

I tried to google this type of injury but have not come across any. I'm stumped...

Has anyone had similar experience? He is eating perfectly fine though.

The below are one side of his 'perfect' body whilst the other shows the injury

Very likely a bacterial infection. It might have started out as a cut, injury or sting that has since got infected. Looks like you have him in QT (smart move); I would use antibiotics i.e. something like Furan-2 or Kanaplex.

how long will it usually heal? I'm feeding it with Dr G medicated food (anti bacterial)

No experience using Dr. G's anti bacterial.
