I have a ranchu that I've owned for only half a year. It is about 4-5 inches and a total sweetheart. But the poor thing isn't doing well at all. He's managing to eat and poop, but he gets so weak that he's been stuck to the filter tube twice now.
He has somewhat frayed edges to his fins and I noticed a few tiny white bits along his face, I'm not sure if they're fugus or dead skin. I tried two doses of Furan 2 when I though it might be fin rot, but as my fish doesn't have and white fungus or anything along his tail, I stopped, changed 50% of the water, let it filter for about a day, then switched to General Cure.
I don't know what I can do to help him now. To keep him safe, I put him in a breeder box, so he won't get stuck back on the filter.
If you need photos, I can provide them, but it's really difficult to show his condition on camera due to his calico colors. But I've been looking everywhere for help, I really need to know what to do!
