Good evening.
I have quite a large pond and I happen to spot this fish today. He’s in a QT tank but I believe he is far too gone to save. My assumption is that he got a scratch from a rock and got infected. I have the temp at 85 in the QT but I was hesitant to treat with salt and an atibiotic. What do you guys recommend?
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
20-40 nitrates on the API test. Hard to tell between 20-40.
