I've had these Apistos for about a month now... I have a pair in a 10 gallon aquarium (pH=7.0, no ammonia or nitrite, 77F, 10-20% water change daily). A few days ago I noticed what looks like an injury just behind the left eye of my female... It's been swelling slightly more each day... I've added some salt to the water (5-6 tbsp) and have been treating with the recommended dose of one of those aloe vera water conditioners...
The injury looks like a raw spot of skin that has swollen, and just in front of the swelling (between it and the eye) the skin has sunk in a few mm. Is this an injury, or the sign of something else? Any ideas would be helpful... I've attached a few pics in case they help any diagnosis. Thanks
