hi again guys...
about a week ago i lost my first fish for 3 months, a molly, to an infection towards the tail of the fish... even after medicating with anti biotics and doing 3 water changes i lost another 6 fish to this weird white patch which would grow on their caudal peduncle..
i woke up today to find my little brothers spiny eel looking like this
the photo isnt the best... but you can see a paleness towards the tail.. there is also redness where the infection seems to have started...
the weird thing is... there has been no sign of infection for 2 days... and yesterday this guy was eating out of my hand...
i dont think there is much that can be done to save this guy.. but can someone at least point in the right direction as to what this thing is???
btw, my ph is 7.0 and nitrates & nitrites should be very low (massive filter and frequent water changes)
ps:
heres my rummy which died of the same disease...
