It looks like your axie may have hit/scratched something in the tank. Does it have tankmates?maybe a fight broke out?
What arethe wAter parameters in your tank? Just as a reference . Im sure somebody else will ask it.
It seems bad right now, but he will be okay as long as you keep the water cool and clean and keep him well fed
If he has tankmates maybe keep him seperTed till he heals? In the meantime try to figure out if there is anything he could of hurt himself on in the tank.
Just keep an eye out for fungus growing on it and he should heal up nicely
Someone can say otherwise if they disagree but i would say you dont need to worry about any other extensive messures lile salt baths or fridging unless you start to see other problems
Maybe do a black tea bath? Or use some almond leaves to sooth his skin while he heals? I heard its great for their slime coats!

Thank you so much! She does have tank mates. I have 4 totally in a rather large aquarium. They have never had a fight that was bad enough to hurt someone. Just a bump every now and then. Yesterday I did a deep clean on the aquarium and got rid of the sand that was in there. The water quality is spot on, super clean and a good temp (I am working on lower the temp some) She is eating and moving around quite a bit, I've just never seen this before on them and I have had them all for about 2.5-3 years.

Hehe my leucistic looks like it has a scar on its tail. Never noticed it untill they went into a tank but i think they add personality and uniqueness to them. I love just little things thatmake one lotl different from another <3 like i swear in 3monthes my leucies gills will be black and will have very dark freckles. I swear he gets darker daily! And my wild types color becomes more and more pronounced as days go on. I definately have a breeder with texas i think once he is old enough. I know somany people who would take his/her offsprings!
