Nice, but that looks more like a bacterial disease.

Inter cellular Uronema doesn’t show on the fins like that. You can sometimes isolate free living Uronema from bacterial lesions because bacteria is the normal food for Uronema.

What did you treat it with?

The wounds were in the body first , on the scales red marks like lines . I started with hydrogen peroxide dip 2 days . Very light dosage . You can see the wounds turned into white in the second picture . Also the fish had cloudy eyes too. Then i started kanaplex + metro dosage. And he slowly started improving and started eating at around day 10 and after 2 weeks he almost recovered . Like yoy said it could be bacterial. It developed after copper treatment .

It does seem more like a secondary bacterial disease -but take the win either way, right?
