what is going on? infection?

[Ebone]

The flesh on this tricolor is infected or something. I had to frag a piece of a week ago... then put superglue of the left hand side of this. Now it has expanded and the one on the right has formed. It has been dipped in revive to try to help. any ideas?

I have this same issue going on and I can't track what is doing it. In my end I believe is due to amino acids overdosing and causing bacteria infection.
