Hello all! New discus fish keeper here and what a adventure its been so fare.
So I have a blue diamond that is staying in top corner and has some funny looking markings on its side.
90% are on his right side and also has damaged fins. Does not look like fin rot but one side fin has a hole in it small and dorsal fins are broken up.
My other 3 discus show no signs of this.
When I feed them they all eat but the blue diamond slowly goes to eat and red malboro chase and nip at him to go back into corner.
Are these markings from attacks or bacteria. Dont want to medicate if not needed.
Water paramaters
PH 6.6
