Sick Gold Barb

[brockfishhawk]

It has a red blotching on one side and inside the red blotching is some white patches which are round and roughly half the size of a pea. Just curious if anyone has seen this or know what to do about it. Right now it is in a hospital tank alone with some salt and warmer water.

fungal infection?
ammonia burn?

Need a clearer picture to be sure.

Bummer, I will work on a clearer picture but this little dude is hard to photograph. Thanks for the efforst so far. He is calm in his own aquarium where he can rest and heal.

my group of gold barbs had whatever that is a while ago, it just went away on its own, i think one may still have it

Well I guess he did not enjoy being in the hospital tank for he took the leap of faith last night and fell to his doom. R.I.P. Mr. Gold Barb 8(
