fishtv Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hey guys, Our Black Line Flying Fox has over the last few days developed quite a red glow around the nose/mouth area and his eyes seem slightly popped out? Does anyone have some knowledge to impart on this subject? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 The eyes starting to pop out is usually linked with a bacterial infection. The red glow, if it looks like could be red marks, patches,{these can be bright} tends to be from bacterial infection too. In some cases the patches can be caused by parasite or viral infection. I would be accessing your water quality, therefore get it tested, for ammonia, nitrites etc. Start treating with an antibiotic. Then again if just one fish, I would probably just euthanase.
