Firefish Dark Spot

[BellaD]

So my Firefish jumped out of my tank a few days ago onto the carpet. Got him revived miraculously. He's eating and swimming fine, but I've recently noticed this dark mark/spot developing on his side. I'm wondering if it's some kind of trauma from the jump or something else. Also any way I could help him heal. Medications ect.... or if I should just let him be.

Yes- its bacterial from a bruise or skin damage and while it should heal on its own, if reddens, will require treatment. You can use Ruby Rally Pro in the tank (follow directions) Or in quarantine using Seachem Kanaplex
