moosepig Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 pH 7.6 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10pp Ammonia 0 Gh hard 150 KH high moderate 100 I gave my flowerhorn paracleanse via food instead of dosing the tank. 54g corner tank 81degree Lil Spooky is a FH - for the last year he would only eat shrimp anything else he would ignore. I made a slurry of shrimp defrosted in fridge, focus, paracleanse, vitamin drops, and a pinch of epsom salt. Fed once a day for four days on the fifth day he would take the food in munch on it for a min then spit it out. On the fifth day white stuff came out of his pink wound/sore like a zit, lots of them. What can you tell me about this situation? For the next two days lil spooky ate pellets, no problem! Now looks like worms are coming out again.

Colu Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Possible hold in the head disease it's difficult to say for sure that's the cause you can get white pus with hole in the head it's linked to nutritional deficiency and poor water quality and Hexamita parasite treatment for hole in the head is metroplex in food feeding a small amount twice a day for 3 weeks @moosepig Edited February 19 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosepig Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Spooky was on metroplex until he stopped eating and started to look like he has swim bladder bouyency problems. On day four fasting he has more control than before. Has new sore on the kok and it looks like maybe anchor worm on picture below. This isn't looking good.

Colu Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I can see the white thing near he Gills possible anchor worm if it were anchor worms the most effective treatment is lufenuron active ingredient in Esha Alx I would add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons it will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes @moosepig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosepig Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Aquarium salt is special salt, I gather. It's not epsom or rock, kosher, sea or iodine table salt. Correct? Should I add the aquarium salt to the 54 g of water or put it in a bucket first with prime? Your help is much appreciated.

moosepig Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 I can't stand to see him suffer, do you think there's any hope for recovery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 You can use Aquarium or rock salt or kosher salt are fine to use I would dissolve the salt in cup of warm water then add it to the tank just remember salts only removed though water changes so if you do a 2 gallon water change put one table @moosepig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
