Mandarin fish diagnosis

[Edson Jerez]

My female mandarin developed white skin discoloration behind her right eye. And on her side. I am posting pictures. Can someone help me I'd the issue and suggest a course of action. Little background, fish has been in the tank for over one year. She is fat and esta pellets plus abundant pods in the tank. No unusual behaviors to report at this time. Condition is about two days old.

Looks to be an abrasion of some sort. Has it gotten worse since you first noticed it?

It looks to be some sort of scratch, maybe from the rock. I would just watch it and make sure it doesn’t get worse.

I have a green mandarine that is very healthy in my 180 DT... and will occasionally get abrasions like that.....probably chasing a tasty morsel into the rock. The abrasions will heal up and fade away.

Not much from when I first spoted it!
