Howdy...so my beloved female super red dragon isn’t doing so well....at least not herself. She has stopped eating over a week ago. None of my attempts have worked (frozen food, garlic). Around Christmas I noticed a white pimple towards her tail..I put some salt in..gone within a day or two. She did turn black which isn’t unusual for her..but knew something was up or about to happen. But Christmas night I looked at her and noticed on one side she was half dark..I’ve never seen such a straight line split coloring in her..the other side isn’t so prominent. She still has this coloring. The front part of was kind of pale but has turned a little red at times.. she has the dreaded white poop. I spoke with a local fish store and they recommended metroplex. I’ve been treating the tank with that since Sunday. Today I’ve noticed this spot on her face that I’m not sure what it is. She was pretty lazy in her tank...but yesterday noticed she would swim around a little. But so far today..not so much.. She was lacking her feisty ness but that has sort of come back..but not fully. I’m at a loss. Her parameters are great..water changes...she’s just not getting better and I’m not really sure what’s up with her..thank you in advance
 
Add some Epsom salt 1tbsp per 5g. Would cont with metronidazole to the tank. Keep the water clean. If begins eating then feed the metroplex in Epsom salt solution (1/2cuo water and 3/4 tsp Epsom salt). Can mix with food and bind together with seachem focus.

Sometimes these is seen in fish with trauma. Would reduce stress and keep the water clean. Best of luck.
