please help me help my baby 🙁 so a few weeks ago I got her a new tank. She ended up getting pinned in between the filter and the wall of the tank while we were asleep. I woke up and felt so bad and immediately moved the filter to release her, and put aqua sponge in the space. She was very lethargic for that whole day. She's been doing much better and is very active and seems normal. I have since moved her back to her old tank, but i have noticed that her scales seem to be peeling up on her side 🙁 today espescially i noticed that it looks very swollen.
I don't know how to help her. she has a catappa leaf in there, diftwood, stress coat, bacteria's….
has anyone been in this position? Is there anything i can do to help her? or is it just cosmetic? Any advise is sincerely appreciated.

What are your water parameters with an accurate liquid test kit if possible (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH) and what is your tank maintenance schedule inclusive of water changes (old water out and fresh dechlorinated water in)?
Can we get a full tank picture?
Any other information the mod questions ask too please, this will help. Size of tank, temperature etc.
I remember this fish from an earlier post where she was stressing in her tank whilst it’s been cycling – she’s very active and swims back and forth a lot. Is she in a bigger tank or back in the small one?
The red marks around her face are concerning, as are the scales lifting. Would you mind sharing a bit more info so we can help? What part of the filter was she stuck behind and was there anything sharp?
Thanks
