Krib With Swollen Face

[WILDER]

Usually its best to treat whitespot another week once spots have gone.
Run some black carbon and water change.
Run the black carbon for a day then add the bacterial med.
Parasites can cause bacterial infections.

I'll run carbon on the other tank tomorrow and then a course of anti internal bacteria. will keep an eye out for the return of the whitespot, though all other fish seem to have been free of it for a few days now. Thanks for the help, wilder - I was getting so worried about my little krib. At least i am doing the best i can for her now, fingers crossed she pulls through

Ok good luck as I know what its like to have a sick fish you really care about.

thank you My krib is called princess cos she acts like she is one, lol. i need her back in her usual tank bossing the others around! They won't know what to do with themselves without her there

If she had whitespot bad they could of caused the inflamation like us when we get bite by insects.

If she rubbed against something it might have also been a cause for the blisters.

well, she is still with us this morning, but looking slightly worse She is staying pretty still at the bottom of the q tank. I'll just have to let the meds do their best now.

Meds can take a while to work so give them chance.
Did you add the bacterial med if so which one.

I just got home half an hour ago. Princess has gone Poor little darling. but she was in such a bad way when i left earlier, darting round the tank as if she were lost. I almost put her to sleep but decided to make my decision in the morning - looks like she couldn't take amy more. i raised her from birth too Such a shame - out of 90 odd fry, this is the only one that has died in my care
I treated her with Interpet anti internal bacteria last night, and had some mature filter sponge which i added to my spare filter for her. Too little too late by the looks of things, I only wish this infection had shown itself earlier.

Sorry bless her R.I.P.
You tryed your best.
