Whats wrong with my lemon yellow

[ScubaSteve8040]

Has a bloody white mass by his tail, and a few protruding white bumps. No other fish in the tank appear sick. Seems sluggish.

Ph is 8.2 no ammonia nitrites or nitrates

Nobody?

Still eating? Have you seen him poop?

 

[ScubaSteve8040]

Not sure about either. He has been hiding a lot.

 

[Homedog98]

Do you have any aquarium salt? That and some melafix should help. Primafix too if you have it.

 

[ScubaSteve8040]

All that? Will it be ok to treat the main tank? My second tank is currently being used as a breeder.

 

[Homedog98]

It's all natural. You don't have any apple snails do you? If not then you'll be ok.

It looks like a secondary bactiera infection brought on by parasites. Don't bother with Melafix/Pimafix and skip right to a medication Paraguard or Kanaplex by Seachem, they are both a broad spectrum medication for parasites and bactiera infections. I would treat the entire tank and not isolate the individual fish.

Thanks everyone, I'll try that tomorrow.

Looks much worse today, but I did get paraguard in today... Hopefully in enough time.
