Festae/Ornatum HELP

[BayArea_510]

hey so i just picked up a festae from my friend as a rescue it got a cut and he didnt know how or what did it but he gave the fish to me so i can try and heal it, pics of the feste when it was healthy is in this thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...-fake-red-terror-true-festae&highlight=festae
and help me figure out if the festae jsut got cut from a rock or if it has some kind of parasite or ulcer thing

ALso i have this ornatum i had for 2 months but for the past month it has'nt bean eating that much and hes all sucked in and bony , i want to move him to my 30 g but im to scared that he will die due to the strees of the move

I'll pay $10 bucks for her....

Jose it looks like a cut, not a disease...but if he doesnt know then maybe a sibling does

wut does the yellow part mean , also so should i just treat the tank with salt or should i use a medication

Yeah i would put it by itself also and put medicine in the tank. As for the ornatum are the other fish letting it eat? is it in the 180 because that if a tough tank man. And it may be worms is it wild caught?

 

[BayArea_510]

the ornatum is wild caught and all my fish get feed right he just chooses not to eat i can drop brineshrimp and pellets by him and he wont even try and eat em

Take the Ornatum out.. and as for the festae, treat with woundease and protectease..

now it is a wild ornatum and it is not eating are u sure taking it out is the best thing to do because i dont want to stress it out

 

[JML1997]

It won't die instantly, you just have to monitor it.. though being a wild ornatum won't make much of a difference..

 

[BayArea_510]

actually there is a difference becaus eit is wild and wild fish arent used to being handled that much i have only netted this fish 1 time and he didnt et for a week cuz of it, thanks for the advice but ima wait to hear some other members chime and see what they say , then i will take action , no offense or anything i just need more than 1 voice of help

Festae: possible external bacterial infection.
Ornatum: internal parasites.
