Urgent!

Also from the pics it looks like it scrapped itself up pretty good. Not sure if those are bichir worms or just damaged scales

Initially thought that but will see how it progresses. I think more damaged scales and Finley’s. The redness under the belly is concerning.

Agree. U thinking septicemia (spelling ?)

Op any tankmates ? Ammonia present ? What are nitrates ?

I observed her a little more and found haemorrhaging in many of the gaps in between scales

Update the thread as the poly progresses. Hope it gets better quick.

Thanks. She's my favourite fish, I grew her out from 2 inches to 9 inches. I really don't wanna lose her...

Are any of the fish new and wild caught? I agree it could be a bichir worm infestation. Seeing a lot of that lately. They can leave white patches and red bleeding between scales. Wicked hard to see without magnification. I just usually notice the damage they cause.

 

[L3CTR0N]

No all fish I own are captive bred.

I see. Are any of them new to you or the same old gang and this popped up?
