Majestic has a injury
After being so happy that my Majestic angel is so healthy and such a great fish, I noticed she is sick today. I just set up a 10g QT tank with a bubbler, skimmer and heater, and it is bare. All I have on hand is Methylene blue.
I have her in a pail acclimating to the blue water slowly that is in my 10g tank at the moment. I will try to snap a picture but it is hard to see the injury. It is on the top of her head and looks like scales are falling off and a sore is developing. She was at the top of the tank, but still swimming, but did not want any food. I don't know what it is but I figured I better get her out ASAP and keep her in the 10g to heal up.
I live out of town and the closest LFS is not open until 2pm today and I figured I would treat her with the Methylene blue for now. She is not breathing hard but I was easily able to catch her, which means she must not be feeling well. When a fish net comes out, generally my tank becomes empty very quickly.
I have my brand new water change water in the 10g that is matched to my tank water for salinity. I figured I should keep all levels the way they are at them moment.
The area in question looks like a thumb print sized hole starting. She is very fat and healthy aside of this occurrence that just appeared this morning. Perhaps she scraped herself on one of my corals and it looks like that but I know it could become infected and kill her if I don't do something quickly.
I know without a picture for diagnosis it is just a guessing game but I doubt my iphone will get the snap shot you all need. The LFS I bought her form is closed on Thursdays but if I ever have a problem with any fish they will take them and cure them if possible. Since nobody is there I am left to treat her myself until tomorrow.
Any advise on what I can do to treat her would be much appreciated. I love this fish and she has been so healthy and happy. Maybe I am worrying over nothing, but I won't take any chances.
I just took a couple of pictures and have to load them from my phone. Hopefully you can see something. Blue water with an injury on the blue part of the fish is not helpful.
