Yesterday morning I noticed one of my crowned pearlscales had developed a white sore on his wen. I did an immediate 25% PWC. He's been hanging out at the surface more than usual. Today, he seems to have gotten worse and looks more like a pimple and is now red. Should I move him to the QT? Will this affect any of the other inhabitants?
I recently added some plants last week and I was wondering if stirring up the gravel caused a spike in the nitrates. I did a 40% pwc right after the addition of the plants, another 25% about 5 days later, and another 25% 4 days after that when I first noticed the sore. Unfortunately, I tested the water after the water change and it seemed normal after that. I've also been fiddling with plant placements every couple of days because they keep uprooting my plants
Please help diagnose my fish!
