Make sure your water quality is top-notch, feed him well and hope for the best.

You do want to try and look to see if there isn't a parasite attached to the fish at that spot.

Yo, dont thro together a qt and try to put him in! Thats gonna stress the hell outta him and make it 10x worse. Just leave him be and fatten him up a little. You know how Don runs his shop. The fish is probably just stressed and its immune system is way down. Just feed well and be patient. Gl

I don't think you should really knock the local fish stores
Aqua hut has some really great deal and if you buy anything you should allways qt them anyways

I think Don is a great guy and he definitely has great deals but buying fish from him is always hit or miss. Ive had fish last 2 days and then Ive had a fish last more than a year until a gave it to someone else.
As far as the fish in question here is concerned, I think its a wound and not a parasite. It could have cut it self on a rock or something. Give it some time and see what happnes.
