I noticed yesterday the wound on my paradise gourami. Does anyone know if this is a possible disease, infection, etc? Also what would be the best medication to use? Below I listed what I've been using, and what I have handy.
Tank is a 20 gallon long. Tank mates are 6 gold barbs, 4 Cory catfish, and a newly added rainbow shark (small, approx 1.5") added 6 days ago.
I've watched the shark and he hasn't shown any signs of aggression towards any other fish that I've SEEN.
Water parameters are normal.
Nitrates always less than 10ppm
nitrates 0
pH 7.0
Water changes: Typically 20% every 2 weeks.
The only chemicals I typically use is Prime for my conditioner, and the occasional freshwater salt.
I had a few natural medicines handy. I've been using Melafix, but I also have Herbtana and Artemiss by Microb-Lift. Would one of those 2 be better to use than the Melafix?
