A Disease Problem

[KingofthePisces]

ive had this happen to me a few times and it claimed 2 of my blue panchax killifish does anyone know what this could have been?
i dont have any pics of them as they died a few weeks ago but all i noticed was blood red patches forming under the skin and they stopped eating
any advice is appreciated

Usually if the fish become ulcerated and off their food you need to look to enviromental issues, check your tank for ammonia
A prolonged SALT bath (3-5 g/litre for several days) may relieve the stress in the fish.
Check for other signs of a disease ie. worm infections.
Basically prevention is better than cure in these instances, Perform proper tank maintenance on a weekly basis, cleanliness is the no1 priority.
Properly conducted waterchanges are essential also for fish health alongside a complete and varied diet to include dried,frozen and livefoods.
