So far I have already lost a clown fish to what seems to be possible a parasite type thing... And my Sailfin tang has just showed signs of the same injury. It appears on back of this fish just before the fins of the tail and is visible on both sides and looks like a perfect oval gash and has a different color then the rest of the fish. When the clown fish had it it looked as tho he was bleeding and had swallowed a pill and it was sitting in the end of his tail. But on the sailfin its more of a deep purple and bulging like it was on the clown...

Please help me save my fish I just started dosing today with MELAFIX so hopefully that helps any opinions or ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Also in case its maybe something in the tank there is a:
-Chocolate Chip Starfish
-Dolabella Sea Hare
-Coral Banded Shrimp
 
Thanks but it doesn't seem to be the right thing its more like a single direct injury in an isolated spot... I doesn't seem to be an infection more of an injury.
 
do you have a QT?
if not my first advise would be to set one up...


"lethargy and a loss of appetite. As the disease progresses, the skin may become discolored, red and necrotic (dead). Boil-like sores may appear on the body, occasionally breaking through the skin surface resulting in large, open sores. Bloody blotches (erythema) are common around the fins and mouth. When the disease becomes systemic, it can cause exopthalmia ("pop-eye"), and the gut and rectum may be bloody and filled with fluid"

amy of this?
