| looks like a skin infection. I supect its fungal but cant be too sure. I would get some multi-cure as it can deal with both fungal and bacterial issues. If you look a bit closer an the wound seem 'fluffy' then its fungus and go for some fungus killer. if not then go for some anti-bacterial stuff. if you cant decide then you go with the multicure  _________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable 3rd edition OUT NOW!!!

| Your getting a reading for ammonia, this could be a possible cause, any reading above 0 is toxic to fish. The nitrate reading is 0 I would expext some reading for nitrate in an established tank. Your tank may have gone into a cycle.
