FishMarc Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I've a few danios in a tank and I noticed that one of them has a couple of red lumps/lesions growing near the tail (but not on the tail). One lump on the top and one underneath. Any suggestions? here's a pic - my photography isn't the best I'm afraid... http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25 ... kDanio.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBen Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 So far two have died, some fish are also looking swollen (could be pregnant). Advice would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Red spots can often (but not always) mean bacterial infection. Since it is nearly impossible to determine what the bacteria is (and hence recommend a suitable antibiotic), you could try a generalised treatment such as an antiseptic bath (e.g. salt or formalin) and then treating with a broad spectrum antibiotic (e.g. Furan 2). These treatments may not be very effective but might tip the balance in the fish's favour giving its immune system time to fight off the infection.
