Green chromis injury

[Generallyfunperson]

So yesterday i bought two green chromis. Today ive noticed an apperent injury on one of them [pictures will be shown later]

So is this something that will heal over time? Or do i need to do something about it? What do i do about it?

Also I realize this might not be the exact place to put it but idk where else to put it

[My light burnt out yesterday which is why the camera quality is so poor]

How do you get the proper does in a fish

You take some frozen food, weigh it, then add enough metronidazole to make up 0.5% of that weight. Then, reserve a bit of the food and replace it with the same weight of Focus. Mix it well and portion it out. Feed it daily for 3 days, wait a week and feed it again for three days.
This won’t work for internal Uronema but it does work for gut protozoans like Hexamita. Note - metro is pretty bitter, some fish won’t eat it.

As mentioned measured by a Minute weight of 5000gm

I just went looking for Metroplex in Australia and as it's an antibiotic can only be purchased with a doctors/vet prescription. I did manage to find a 5gm pack on ebay for $40 Australian.
It's unfortunate here that if a remedy comprises an antibiotic (fungal/parasitical) our fish will likely be dead before we can get the drug if we can get it at all.
Even fluconazale is hard to get

Definitely uroma. I'm sorry you lost a fish. It sucks.

Yes, that was almost assuredly Uronema. You couldn’t have done anything to save this fish…..

figured as much. sorry op. losing fish is always a bummer.
best of luck with the other one.
My three chromis just finished their 30 days in copper and prazi. Started them off with a 1 hour formalin bath. No idea if it helped, but none have come down with uronema.
