I have a sword tail in an isolation tank, she has a badly infected tail and serious tail rot. Im treating with salt water and raised the temp to 80df but she is not eating. I hold food infront of her but she doesn't eat it... a nibble or two.
Anyone have suggestions??
thanks
 
You're not medicating the swordtail with anything? I would medicate with something,I've tried the saltwater only route and it wasn't very effective. It probably won't eat until it's tail starts to heal a bit. They can go awhile without food so for now I would get some meds and start treating it.
 
Im adding some meds so that the infection doesn't get worse.
She seems to be doing better, she is getting around more.
