Hoping someone can help me.. I have an injured/sick bumblee catfish... I suspect I will have to euthanise him but want to get others thoughts first... particularly if it might be some disease or infection.
Few details below:
- currently in a 16l hospital tank with a cycled sponge filter from original tank
- temp is 26 deg celcius
Parameters
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 40
pH: 7.6
I have had him for about 3 months now, took him off someone closing down their tank. Was fine until about 3 days ago I noticed he had a hole in the side of his face! (See pictures)
Was told to add salt to water and treat with pimafix and melafix
I thought he must have been attacked initially but now not too sure. It’s pretty sever and there isn’t anything in the tank that I can see which would hurt him like that.
Doesn’t seem to be improving either.
