I checked out a new store with my mom today when she cane to visit, as I will be upgrading my tank to a 55 this weekend and wanted to see the small possibilities opening to me. and was very excited to see they had a festivum for sale. They're one of my favorites in regards to their docile personality and unique shape, and though I am usually very good at spotting diseased fish before taking them home with me, this time, I think I was too caught up in excitement to think about the possibility I'd disease.
Well. Anyways. I spent the evening acclimatizing and admiring my newfound love, though it being very shy and sticking around the back of the tank, taking a few flares and head butts from my firemouth (but not any hard core abuse) but I walk up to the tank to turn the lights off for the night, and he's up front and center being warmed up to my presence, when my heart skipped a beat; small chalky white dots were covering his forehead. I snapped a picture of him which I sent to nosphaer, he'll have it on here in a bit.
Anyways. I need a little course of action advice, here. I have honestly really fallen for this guy. I don't know how bad it is, or how hard it its to treat, or anything. My ammonia and nitrite are 0, as always. If I take him back, it'll be for refunds, as he was the only festivum they had. I'd like to give it a shot at treatment (whatever treatment may be) if its not a lost cause. But if things aren't going to work out the way I want, I'd like to give my eye to the keyholes I've been dying to have since ever.
So really, advice on what you think I should do in any regards and advice on treatment would be appreciated. Like I said, nosphaer should have the picture up soon. Thanks much :c
