    Default Help! Hole on lower side of the body.

    They have this nice leopard for sale at my local fish store. He looks healthy and active. However, he has a hole on the lower side of the body. Do you guys think this hole will close eventually? It looks like it was open all the way down in the past and it is slowly closing, but I am not sure. The owner gave me a discount on the fish and I like it a lot. Please advice as soon as you can. Thank you.

    Hi Fernando. It doesnt look infected at this point but I would swab it with hydrogen peroxide since We dont know its history. Keep up good clean water and see how it looks over the next 2 days. The fish looks healthy otherwise.

    Do you think the hole will ever close?
