Could this be DGIV? Wound on my Gourami :-(

[hevvyc]

Today I woke up and noticed my DG has something on her gills, missing scales or a wound. I was wondering if this could be DGIV. She eats really well and is very active, and has not lost any colour. She glass surfs sometimes but it's been getting less & less since she's fairly new and I recently added some platies and neons. They all look fine.

She also has a full belly, I wondered if this could be abdominal swelling, but I'm quite generous at mealtimes and it goes down when I skip a day of feeding.

Fully cycled tank with 5ppm nitrate. PH 7.2, KH 6, GH 10

Looks like missing scales to me. Reduce feeding to help her weight go down.
Is she pooping? She might be constipated, daphnia or cooked cut peas can help with that.

Haven't seen her poop very much but I assume she does it when I'm not around. I will cut it back, and prepare her some peas now. Thanks for the advice.
