Someone Help Me! Is her Gill ripped? I have no idea what has happened or is it a disease?

Post by MontyBojangles »

Basically looking at my fish when I spotted a wound of some kind on my Syndontis it seems like it's coming from her left side Gill, I have no idea how it happened but can someone help. Do I need to treat her for the injury?

Looks like a physical deformity. If it doesn't change, don't worry about it.

Agreed. Likely had it since birth.

Like your phantom gourami.
