My isolation tank is down, how can I treat him without the carbon from my filters eliminating the meds, turn the filters off for a bit and just recirculate with my pumps?

Oh good, I have kanaplex already I'll use that.. just called around to the 2 vets near me, no one will touch a fish lol having a huge snowstorm anyway so they are closing right now

Ty for the reply, do you think a tumor that size could essentially grow in 10 hours?

In those bottom 2 pictures, his body is straight... almost looks like he is turning right but that is the lump

I'm having a hard time uploading pictures. Hopefully this helps

I just came home from work and see a golf ball sized lump on the side of my 2 year old Oscar I don't know what the problem could be... I just did a water change yesterday, I can't really see this being something in the water.. almost looks more towards the rib cage and not the stomach. I'm very...

Hey guys, my red severum and my Oscar started getting what looked like ick on their fins... I treated heavily with salt and warmed the tank up to 86 f. The Oscars' fins look a little better but my severum is still loaded on the rear and dorsal, but now I'm thinking possible fungus? Please see...

Another quick question, could it actually be burns from salt? His body color not the fun structure... but I use a tbsp more of aquarium salt than recommended and my other fish thrive in that. Just wondering if maybe they're sensitive to salt?

Messed up part is, he was eating great and acting completely normal in his regular tank, now he hasn't touched food at all with this treatment in the hospital tank

Ty guys for the info, as far as an update goes.... I've moved him to a 20g hospital tank and have so far used "kanoplex" and another copper based solution called "copper power green" or something like that. Someone at my LFS recommended copper dosages for the fungal infection. And as of last...

I just moved in with the girlfriend a month ago so I didn't wanna have 2 tanks running lol

Well I grabbed another one of those sponge filters for another aerator I have, (haven't had to use the hospital tank in a bit) and I emptied some bio from one of my filter pads in the tank, gonna let that sponge suck that and a little gravel waste up from my large tank, and when I get home from...

So I just picked up "kanaplex" for my hospital tsnk for him, I also have "copper power green" which says eliminates fungus and external parasites. Any input?

Yea I feel the same way, the caudal fun does not look right at all and he swims a little funky. Any ideas on how to fix something like this? I want my old ebjd back he was so beautiful. Could he possibly have a external parasite eating away at him? Although all of my other fish are fine...

My profile picture is how he used to look by the way, he was a bit younger back then and I know they change in color but I just know this isn't how he's supposed to look now

Hey guys, I've had an Ebjd now for about 8 months and he was never a fully beautiful color that I see in the pics online. Over the past month or so he hasn't looked right at all, almost looks like a chemical burn throughout his body. 75g tank, very well filtrated, and he is in with another...

Are they extremely prone to diseases and parasites, since they are a rare strain of reg JD's? That kind of worries me cause I have him with 2 Oscars and 2 parrots. I feed no live food, only frozen, and freeze dried blood worms/plankton(which the JD doesn't even eat) and NLS pellets

Yes I've done that even before the hospital tank. Actually have great news, I put him back in the main tank earlier yesterday in hopes that returning to his normal settings might help, and this morning he was swimming around and actually went for food for the first time in almost a month! Im...

Hey guys, I'm having serious issues with this guy. I isolated him in a hospital tank on 3 separate occasions with an aerator sponge filter and no carbon obviously. Ive gone through Metroplex, prazi, and clout (all the best stuff according to my LFS here in NY) He hasn't been eating at all so...
