Sick texas blue help ???

[hasu12]

any ideas??? , it appeared very quickly.he had a wee red ring on his nostril a long time ago but it disappeared after a few days with no treatment.

surely someone will recommend a med soon for you, is he in a tank alone?

How is he acting otherwise?

 

[hasu12]

hes not alone,he acts fine,eats well n active like its not bothering him but it looks painful so i really wanna get him sorted asap.

Seems to me that this can be the deadest forum on the site, yet so many pros around. Im sorry bud I would think its not something too rare, maybe some better up close pics of it, and give your water parameters, search hard through the stickies from lupin, but I know how you feel, surely someone can spot what it might be.
