Sick l190
- Thread starter arowana666
- Start date
He eats with the rest of the fish so he also gets a veriaty of diferent sorts of meaty and veggie foods inc.mussel shrimp spinage and i supplement with waffers. I just put the wood thing because that is the first thing most people say i dont think it is the diet
well it kinda sounds like he's malnurished, but I may be wrong
Let's see if an expert can chime in and give their opinion

What are you water parameters and what other fish are in the tank?
This may be a mycobacterium infection, or an intestinal parasite infection. The fact that he isn't eating makes me think it's more likely bacterial than parasitic (though often with mycobacterium fish still have a good appetite). There hasn't been any established effective treatment for mycobacterium, but kanamycin has been used with some success. I would start by treating with metronidazole and praziquantel in case this is a parasitic infection, and then try kanamycin bath treatments.
