[GreenThumb13]

PLease HELP!!!!

Duck mouth and a parastie??

How do you cure this???

 

[Water]

That is duck lips. Lower the temp of the tank to 80 degrees.. treat with Maracyn 1 and 2. Good luck.

 

[GreenThumb13]

Awesome will that help with the white parasite next to his nostril

 

[Water]

Thats a parasite? Maracyn 1 & 2 treat different types of bacteria. Does it still eat?

 

[Jimmy16]

oh no! not my favorite little double row flowerhorn.

 

[GreenThumb13]

Yeah he eats very little... its like puss or something

I wipe it away and it comes back.... could it be HITH?

 

[Water]

Its not HITH. You could take it out and pour hydrogen peroxide on the area as well as the lips. Just make sure it doesn't get on the gills.

 

[JediScum.]

Pretty sure it is very contagious you should hospitalize that fish quickly. I really don't think he/she is going to make it once duck lip progresses to that stage it goes down hill really fast. I give he/she a week/ er so. Sorry for the bad news..

 

[tiddlywinks]

duck lip is treatable..... plus that doesnt look like ducklips

 

[GreenThumb13]

Ducklips is the least of my concern....

Something is eating the whole front of his face/head....

I think that the treatments of maracyn 1 & 2 are helping.... but I'm not sure
thanks for the advice Dr. Water...
