here is the befor and after pics, you can clearly se that she lost alot of color.. shes in a 200L tank with on socolofi, theyr always fighting and he is stronger,its been 2 weeks since i seperate beteen her and the scalofi that was bugging her with a plastic net in the middle of the tank and she still hasnt regain her color but she seems to be ok and continue to try fihting him through the net ,even now..do you have any sugestions what to do? water parameters are 0,0,10 and both of them eating well.a
 
can you provide us with a clear picture of her?
what is the GH and pH of the water?
how many hiding places do you have in the tank?
Why don't you have any substrate in the tank?

If they are still fighting after a couple of weeks, you need to put them in different tanks.

They are in this tank together for 6 mounths. there is a substarte and alot of hiding places. PH is 7.6 and GH is 14
at start they were fighting alot but afetr a few weeks it deacresed to only occasionly. since i noticed the color change 2 weeks ago ive seperated them by a plastic net that deviding the tank in half.
 
How many fish are in the tank?
If you only have the 2 fish in the tank, then perhaps add 5 or 6 more. Rearrange the tank to break up established territories just before you add the new fish. Hopefully the new fish will help to spread the aggression around and it won't be one fish that gets picked on constantly.

If you only want the 2 fish in that tank, and if they are fighting and have been since day one, you need to put them in different tanks because one will eventually kill the other.

First of all im not buying fish and against any trade in animals. second the fish are seprated now, im asking about treatment for the auratus now
 
The only treatment for the fish is to keep it separated from the fish attacking it. It doesn't appear to have a disease and I would say it is just stress markings caused by the fighting.
 
but he is separated for 2 weeks and still no improvment..
 
Can they still see each other?
If yes, then they will still be in full agro mode with each other.
