I have a 26 inch bamboo shark and the are below his mouth seems to be swollen I remember somebody saying something aout treating this with iodine has anyone ever heard of this?
 
he is in a 135 ( I know it needs to be bigger) and he eats mostly fresh shrimp and formula one ands two cubes with occasional fresh fish and squid, he eats very well.
 
wow.. he definatley needs a bigger tank. when do you plan on changing that? im not flamming you just asking a ?;)
 
I would like to build an indoor saltwater pond for him but i dont think i can do that with my current living arrangements, he is in with a large lion fish
 
How does it do with a lion in there? I've kept them together before as well. Is the area just inflamed or is there a wound to go with it (possible from a tank mate or substrate)? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to rule out things.
 
oh he does great with the lion and there is actually also a large banana wrasse they have all been togeather a long time (there was a huma huma but the lion grew to quick and ate him) it seems to be inflamed more than swollen.
