dar Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hi there.... I wanna thank everyone who responded to my last cry for help.... unfortunately I lost some fish .... but now... I've noticed something different.... there are red marks on a few of my fish in the 72G ... interesting that it hasn't affected all of them.... here are some pics .... not all are clear.. sorry... the red marks are on the bottom fin and just a little bit ahead of the anal passage.... the affected fish are 2 giant gourami, the rainbows.... WELL, I THOUGHT I COULD ATTACH THE PICS BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettaFishMommy Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 without looking at the photos, it is hard to make a diagnosis. but from what you have described it could be septicemia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobies et al Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I noticed that the Opaline Gourami pictured is a male. Is there territorial issues going on? Could the damage be from one fish ramming another? The red spots are actually behind where the vent is. The vent is not far from the head actually, just in front of the ventral fin. Just a thought.

gobies et al Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 You would have to watch and see what's happening in your tank. There is a fair chance that the one causing the damage (if that is indeed what it is) isn't injured. Others that have possibly been culprits in my tank are my Otocinclus and YoYo Loaches! The injuries would still need to be watched for infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
