I’ve had my ACF for 3 years now without any issues until 3 days ago when I noticed him floating at the top of his tank. I didn’t notice anything wrong walking past him until I opened my closet door and accidentally startled him. He tried to swim down to his cave but was super buoyant and literally couldn’t get himself to stop floating. I noticed this and saw that he was a bit rounder than usual and immediately assumed it was bloat so I bought epsom salt and ordered Maracyn II off of Amazon. I did a complete water change and have been giving him daily salt baths but nothing seems to be helping. I also tried a non-toxic bacterial infection remedy I’ve used for my fish because the Maracyn hasn’t even been shipped yet. He’s been getting bigger each day and now his genitalia is extremely red and swollen and he’s getting these faint marks on his body and face. I considered it may be red leg but he doesn’t have any lesions on his abdomen or legs so I don’t know what it could be at this point. As of now I’m assuming it’s bacterial but I don’t know what else to do until the medicine arrives or of he’ll make it til then. Any help would be much appreciated!
