Female wrasse - growth on gill

[Fishie]

Hey all, I have 4 wrasse in QT, all have been eating and behaving quite ok, with the exception of one female which was having a hard time swimming and hasn’t eaten anything... it looked like a spinal related injury at first and may still be.

It hasn’t eaten and is usually up by the surface and has limited strength to do much of anything

Today I added prazi to clear out any possible internal parasites and noticed this mark on the Gill of the female... what is this ?

Looks like it may be ammonia burn or some kind of infection.

Sounds like a spinal injury to me; which is becoming more & more common with fairy & flasher wrasses.

@Fishie Can you post a video showing the erratic swimming behavior??

It wasn’t doing well at all , so I moved it to an alternate smaller 10g with less flow and put in meth blue Incase that was ammonia burn.

I don’t think it will make it- but if it starts swimming I will get a video
