I just got these two babies in on saturday.
One of them had a bump on his head, seller told me that he bumped his head against the glass during feeding and it'll go away in a week or so.
Picture taken on Sunday May 25
Notice the swelling on his head.
Picture taken this early morning.
Notice that the swelling had gone down considerably, but there are more scars on his head than before.
Is this normal progression as the swelling started to come down ?
Option 1:
My tank is infested with parasite, so should I treat the whole tank (240 gallon) with higher temp and salt ? if so, shoudl I use standard dosage ? 1 table spoon per 5 gallon ?
Option 2:
If this is not a parasite but just a simple open wound, should I move him to a smaller tank, and treat him with temp and salt ?
I am trying to handle the fish with as little care as possible. I like option 2 better, but if this is a parasite, then I may as well treat the whole tank.
Any opinion are greatly appreciated...
