For some reason I could not get the pick to work. Why are you treating with those two treatments?

OK Pack go ahead

Ok Thanks!
I uploaded the picture to my gallery.

I was assuming that it was some kind of fungus so I thought I would try the Pimafix and if it did fall off and left an open wound I wanted to have the Melafix in there.

Ok Well lets see what happens since it fell off. Maybe it will heal. Usually for things like this I try to suggest a PWC to make sure of optimal water conditions but I dont know how that will affect your medicine. Good Luck

Melosu,
As Of right now it has not fallen off yet. I am optimistic that it will. He so far is doing fine still eats well. He just stops and rests now and then a lot like a new puppy.

**melosu58** · 11-17-2006, 01:20 PM

OH i thought you said it did fall off. Well Lets hope it does or we will have to figure out what it is and treat differently. Might need to anyway. Have you checked out those links I sent you.

Yes but couldnt determine anything for sure. Took that photo around to the lfs and no one was sure what it is. One suggested a fw dip for 5 minutes but I dont know if I want to put him under that stress yet when he still acts normal.

Have never had any good results with FW dip. Not a big fan of them. I`ll check other sites

I agree, this could cause even more stress on an already stressed fish.
