Sorry to see this. I could be wrong but it doesn't appear to be fungus. The dip you did if you followed specs should make him look terrible so don't sweat it yet. Keep cool, I've seen worse open soars and they have recovered. If you have a QT tank and hes in it I would treat immediately with an antibiotic. I prefer tetracycline, many like furan 2. I wouldn't use eurythromycin because you don't know what he's suffering from. Tetracycline covers both gram positive and gram negative. Follow the instructions to the letter and do a full dose. BE SURE not to mix meds. If he is still under meds ( typically within 24 hours) you'll have to wait a bit (and do partial WC) - Obviously you may lose him, but you may not. If you don't have a QT tank you have a bigger problem. Any useful antibiotic is going to wipe out your good bacteria in your tank.
