MattyM Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Hi all - I recently got back from 2 weeks away, we had a house sitter feeding the fish tanks at least 1x a day. After cleaning the tanks, I noticed the next morning that one of my most active/hyper eaters was absent. I found her hiding, and netted her out into my holding/hospital tank. I don't think she's eaten in awhile as she's lethargic, and shows no interest in food. I added 1 tablespoon of salt to the 10g holding tank, and snapped these pics. I looks like she's missing the part of the top of her mouth, but I couldn't see any white fuzzy stuff. Would it be worth running a course of Maracyn? From my initial research it seems doubtful this will grow back. Other fish in the tank seem just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
