RAY HELP!!!

[Bllib]

I noticed what looked like a flesh wound of some sort on my ray but it has continued to grow and now looks like a fungus. I am going to pull him out and place him in a hospital tank with salt and raise the temp. Anyone know what this is??

Any help would be greatly appreciated

do you have a pleco in the tank?

 

[Bllib]

Yes. Do you think he is sucking off the slime coat??

take the pleco out.... problem solved.... also raise temp to around 85 and add salt 2 lbs per 100 gallons... it will help fight off infection

 

[Bllib]

Ok cool. Thank you. The pleco had not been an issue before so I had not considered that.

 

[turkeyboy85]

yea..... once they pick up the habit.... its all down hill from there

TB is right.. Pleco=problems

 

[Bllib]

Its like a bad habit

Is there rehab available for this or should I just.......
