sick fish?

[sephir420]

one of my peacocks is acting alittle funny. he keeps flashing and has rubed a spot pretty bad on one side. the other odd thing is he seams to eat fine but his belly is starting to sink in and the other odd thing is he will be sitting there and then all of a sudon he takes off eraticly arround the tank. im thinking paresite but could be wrong. any ideas? and what to treat with?

I would add 1 cup of salt for every 30 gal of water , raise the temp to 80-82 deg and get some garlic extract and put it on their food.

Salt for thr flashing, garlic to kill internal paracites.

You might also consider an anti-parasite medicated food, once established some parasites can withstand garlic.
