Ok, the picture is up there now:

The 4/17/08 images are new. It's actually only one image, followed by
a close-up of the damaged area from that image. It was really hard to
get *any* pictures of this fish today, thus the poor quality.

Observations: The wounded area is lighter than it has been and has
rips in what was previously the "loose skin." Pink "flesh" is visible
past the rips. Also, some algae has transferred to the area that's
tearing off. The fish still behaves normally.
Thanks,
Dave


It looks like the area has been re-injured. I'm thinking you're going to
have to catch this fish, do a salt dip, put it in aquarium with salt at
0.3% and order some Tricide-Neo. ~ jan
