windeindoiel Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Ok so he's in a 300 gallon that gets water changes 2-3 times a week. For the past couple weeks he's been really bloated looking. At first I thought he was just eating too much as we put A LOT of food in there for the rays, and he always comes out and takes a bunch. But now I think something else might be wrong. His skin is all weird looking, it looks kind of dimpled, and there are weird bumps on him. Not lots of bumps, there's probably only about 5 of them on his whole body. They're big and clear and kind of look like water blisters. The picture doesn't show this. Also his eyes are clouded over. He's been swimming strangely, not hanging out in one of his caves like he usually is, but swimming out in the open, all water levels. Any ideas what's wrong with him?

BigA Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'm sorry I can't help with the problem, but I was wondering what kind of fish is that? How big is it? Have you had it for a long time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qattarra Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 To me , it resembles hole in the head, therefore I would guess at a parisitic infection with secondary of bacterial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windeindoiel Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Unfortunately he died a day or so after moving him to quarantine. He was a black ghost knife, about 16 inches long. We'd had him about a year and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
