Fishguy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I have a neon tetra with some kind of disease on its tail. I have tried multiple kinds of medicine (bacterial and fungal). Below is a pic of the sick fish. I would really hate to see him pass because of this. Thank you for your time and please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Could be a tumor or a benign growth also possible bacterial infections what are your water parameters and what medication have you treated with and have you noticed any improvement with any of the medication you have used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon p Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I don’t think there is much you can do about it. I had one that had something Similar near the dorsal fin but it didn’t look as red. It lived for years. I said about how red it it was because that means that there is probably a lot of blood vessels running to it. If it is fast growing it will probably kill the fish pretty quick if it’s slow I could live a long time. It doesn’t seem like the fish could be in very good shape where it is located at. You may have to make a decision at some point on the quality of the life the fish is living. It’s a lot to say from one fuzzy pic. I’m just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 What I would do is Qarantine give the meds a rest as there can be stressful and hard on a fish when it's been treated with multiple medication what I would do is add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons the salt will help with Gill function and add essential electrolytes and some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties make sure your water parameters are good if you have poor water quality it will slow down the healing process I would treat with the salt and almond leaves for 1 week if after a week your seeing no improvement then I would treat with kanaplex in food as kanaplex is a more broad spectrum antibiotic than maracyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
