ryanjury Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Gutted I have no idea what they are but some of the many rams I have tried with had things like that on their heads before they started the downwards spiral to death.. I think it could be some sort of HITH/spiral nucleus type thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscnz Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 should i get him out of the tank then? he seems fine swimmimg and eating all happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I only had it affect rams when I had it hit mine. But you would probably want to isolate him so that you can attempt to treat him with something.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Used flourish excel eh? Do a search on here for more info, but basically do a large water change (50%) and add some salt to the new water. it is most likely chemical burn and other fish may get it too. Do another water change tomorrow, and repeat with the salt. don't panic too much as you've spotted it in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
