BenA Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Hi all One of my fish has a blotted stomach and eyes, it has lost colure and looks 'pale'. All other fish are fine and active. Water parameters are: PH - 8 NH3 - 0 NO2 - 0 NO3 - 50 PO3/4 - 1 KH - 12 GH - 16 T - 24C / 75F. Any help is welcome. Thanks Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) I would Qarantine if you can and fast him for a couple of days and I would treat with Sera baktopur direct tables active ingredient is nifurpirinol a broad spectrum antibiotic it adsorbed thought the skin good at treating internal bacterial infection to it also help with the protruding eyes if it Popeye you can get it of Amazon or eBay Edited October 24, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenA Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 The fish was quarantine but died this evening. I attach 3 photos, two show the fish on its own and the other as a comparison to an healthy fish. Am still interested to hear opinions regarding what could have gone wrong. Thank you.

Colu Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 With bloating and the Popeye most likely an internal bacterial infection but I can't be a 100% sure I would air on the side of caution and treat with Sera baktopur direct tables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have suspected that it is internal infection but didn't know which med to use. Will buy the med. and keep in case something like this will happen again.
