Fish Herder
My female spiketail has a wound on her underside. It circular in shape looks like it's making a hole..but also there is kind of a lump on the side of it. The wound is on both sides of her body.
I am thinking it's maybe an ulcer or possibly Aeromonas? It's white on the outside and red on the inside.
I've moved her to a hospital tank and am treating her with JBL furanol which is for gram negative and gram positive bacteria.
The other fish in the tank appear to be healthy...what are the chances of whatever she has spreading to them? I'm worried about the main tank. I'm also worried because I took a couple small plants and a piece of wood out of that tank yesterday and put them in 2 of my other tanks.
Should I take any precautionay steps or just wait and watch the other tanks??
How long should I treat her for? The furanol says it lasts for 4 days and then if a follow up treatment is needed to do a 50% water change. I dont want to not treat long enough and think shes all better only to see a couple days later the problem re-appearing.
I sure hope you come on-line today!!!
