Bah, I just noticed my Electric Blue didn't come up when I fed him, so I checked him out and on one side of his body he has what looks to be a burn. It doesn't look TOO bad but he's hanging out on one side of the tank when he's usually chasing fish around. I put some aquarium salt in, but is there any additional treatment?
Burns?
- Thread starter CHOX
- Start date
I don't have a camera on me, but its really not bad at all. I just want to make sure it heals the right way.
Any updates so far? It would prove useful if you mention the following.
1. Food diet
2. Water parameters
3. Tank size
4. Tankmates
5. Temperature
6. Test kit used
7. Tank maintenance schedule
Your case appears to be a mixed infection of finrot and bacteria (Aeromonas) due to infected wound. Do you have rough edged decorations in your tank? Keep us updated by posting your water parameters, maintain clean water and starting treatment with Binox, Furan2 or Maracyn.
