Hello,

I have a pearscale that is about 5" long. He had a white sore that
almost looked like a scale had popped out. I kept an eye on him for
about a week and did salt dips during that time. Looking at him
yesterday, the spot at developed into a pinkish/red sore. Almost like
a "hole". It is located on his lower side near anal fin. Any
suggestions? Should I continue the dips? Should I quarentee?

Thanks,
Ed
