ryanjury Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 A photo might help more with this one.. Not eating is of concern, is it white and fluffy or more red? If the fish isn't eating I would guess maybe it has some sort of bacterial type infection and might need treating with anti-biotics..

ryanjury Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yep email it to me, if it is white and fluffy just remove the fish and drop meth blue directly onto the wound it should clear up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
