hi,

just been to liverpool for the weekend, friday to sunday morning,
had my cousin look after the fish and cat,
since thursday i have been treating my 3 new clown loaches for whitespot with esha exit,,
thing is i asked my cousin to put drops in and check the fish plus feed them,
i have returned today to find my black skirt tetra has his dorsal fin missing and the area on his back is looking quite bad, also i have 4 columbian tetras and one of those has what looks like a blood blister where his tail meets his body,

i dont know what to do for the best as im treating for the whitespot,
do i stop treating for that and do waterchange then start treating for the damage to the two fish?sad2.gif?

im clueless,
please advise,
lee

Test your water stats.
The blood blister is bacterial, you can add a esha bacterial med with the whitespot med, will get you some info.

Look under whitespot info.

thanks for the reply,

do you think it would be harmfull if i was to treat melfix with the esha exit???

Not probably necessary. I am not familiar with the UK anti bacterial, but MelaFix is a milder med. It is best to keep the meds to the minimum and not to add more unnecessarily. Meds can cause more stress and poison the fish--even MelaFix. Using the anti-parasite and the ani-bacterial is enough.
