A young male Sawbwa I bred last year has recently hit a bad patch. All colour has pretty much gone, the stomach has shrunk in, and fins are clamped. I do have a spare 10L tank that I can use for quarantine/medication available, as I can't treat the whole tank, as shrimp and snails inhabit it as well. I'm now wondering if I should try a course of medication or remove the fish and humanely euthanise it. If I were to give it some medication, what would be the best to go with? I did have some fish a couple of years back be infected with FishTB; however they had heavy breathing issues, while this one does not.

You can see the difference in colour between my eldest male and this fish in the 1st pic.

Put him in a quarantine tank and dosed Esha 2000, which is out of date. Better than doing nothing, I suppose :dunno:
Not accepting any foods either. I have ordered some Esha NDX as well, but whether I will be able to dose it in time is something I don't know
