Grey lesions on bp
- Thread starter tyson5711
- Start date
I've had the fish about 2 weeks. They were the last fish to go in my tank.
Ammonia:0
Nitrites:0
Nitrates: ~10
pH: ~7.8
gH: 9
kH: 3
The one with the spots is still acting normal. Swimming around. Ate well this morning. However, I noticed the rotkiel sev flashing last night and this morning against some rocks. So whatever it is it may have spread. I've noticed this BP flashing as well.

Flashing aggression? Or the lesions? It may be fungal or something. We need a fish medic
Sorry no I meant flashing as rubbing against the rocks. This BP and the rotkiel have been rubbing their gills against the rocks. I've noticed no other symptoms in any fish.
Thank you again for the help. Hopefully a fish medic will arrive soon.
Edit: And just to save time, I will list the other inhabitants of the tank
2 Severums (Gold and Rotkiel) juveniles
2 Blood Parrots juvenils
1 Festivum
Diamond Tetras
Kuhli Loaches (temporary situation)
2 Hoplos

hard to make out from the picture. to me it looks like scratch/irritation or start of hole in the head over the gill plate
Thank you for responding.
I decided to put both blood parrots in a qt. I thought it may be columnaris so I tried treating with paraguard and triple sulfa. I put the other parrot with no symptoms back in the display after 4 days of treatment since it appeared he continued to have no symptoms. The parrot in the picture seems to have gotten better but still has one of the two spots. The spot at the base of the pectoral had completely vanished but the spot on the gill plate is still present. It had noticeably shrunk but nonetheless is still there.
Would triple sulfa or paraguard treat hole in the head?
Again thank you
