rjsomers Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I can't tell if this boy has fin stuck together or what but definately does not look right. I just got him from a private home on Sat as well as some Females and 2 other males. Noone else has any issues. What could it be? Should I treat them with anything? I am hesitant to put anything else in the tank just in case help. And I do not remember all my fish ailments but sure will be in my books quickly - just prefer to ask the experienced hobbyists first.

If you do not have live plants or corys Aquarium Salt is a very safe general issue treatment. Although only one fish is clamping you should test the water for the usual suspects (ammonia, etc).

There are several Quick Cure type products available that are plant friendly. It could be parasites or a host of other things, but many of the treatments overlap. Posting a pic would help. Since the fish is new it is harder to see unusual marks or behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsomers Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I am going to have to catch him and put him in a different tank to get a picture as none of the pics I've taken have turned out. My camera can take awesome pictures through a microscope lens but not of a fish in a tank. Weird LOL. I'll keep you all posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
