Receintly purchased a Lion From this sight. when it came in it seemed to have a small scratch on its gill. over the last week it has become a large sore. I ahve another lion in tank and a leapard shark.. what should i do to treat it..It is very active and eats well.

Did you quarantine this fish? Is there a possibility that the fish is being harrassed by another fish? Looks like you have an agressive setup.

LOTAR says;
Try Quater water change every week for three weeks, along with neomicine as directed on package. You
may want to seperate from main tank because
the cost of medication per gallon.
