My cherry barb has been in this state for about 2 weeks in quarantine. I have fed him peas, treated with PraziPro(for worms), and also tried melafix and just recently with API general cure. None of which these treatments have had any affect. I'm not sure what other remedy would be useful. In your opinion is he at the state that it would be more kind to euthanize him to ease his suffering.

Yes I have tried that as well. He is going on about 4-5 days fasting. I am at a loss as to what could be wrong. Maybe a tumor or something. No treatments have had any affect. It is even bigger now than before. At first it didn't affect his activity, eating or swimming. But it now is starting to cause him problems with swimming ability. It is not bloated like dropsy, the scales are still smooth. These pics are him today.ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1419370749.225939.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1419371029.585403.jpg
