Fish Not Well

[mitch205gti]

Hi,

Our fighter has had this white mark on its side for about week but he has recently been very inactive and just sits at the bottom of the tank, only coming up occasionally for food. I've took some pics, so has any one got any suggestions?

Thanks

Mitch

Thats a nasty fungal infection!!!!

What medication do u have you need something maliccate based, protozin or something. meth blue will help as well.

Or if you got nothing else but 30g of salt in 1 liter of water (3%) and put in that for 60-90 seconds, he'll not like it but it will help.

Oh crapsticks
That looks nasty
I don't like to speculate, I just hope he makes it ok

I've put some King British Fin Rot & Fungus Control in yesterday but he's gone done hill, he's now slumped across the rocks at the bottom of the tank so I think its too late, do you think its worth trying the salt thing?

 

[MermaidMel]
