Double check your symptoms
FISH DISEASE INDEX & MEDICATIONS FOR FISH DISEASE TREATMENT

Get some Maracyn
Maracyn

Use a QT if you have one, if not, I have had some good success dosing the main tank. I am a beliver that if one has it, you should be safe and treat the tank anyway.


\Good Luck

 

Poor water quality is usually the cause. Unless he is being chased a lot.

he is not being chased alot, he is the boss of the tank, but i did not do a water change for over 2 months due to cycle, could this be the culprit???

 

Its difficult for us to get hold of such treatments in the UK. They have to be given to you by a vet.
