Ishpan Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) I recently bought a male and female killi fish. They are in my 10 gallon hospital tank with plants, a few ghost shrimp, snails, 4 hoplo cats, and one bristlenose pleco. The female has a small growth near her mouth. It developed shortly after adding her to the hospital tank. She is eating very well and seems happy. Can anyone assist in identifying what it might be and how I could treat it?

Ishpan Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Would the salt affect the plants or other fish in the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Salt at that level will harm your plants you could treat with erythromycin in the main or you could Qarantine and treat with aquarium salt if you can @Ishpan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
