Species not stated (2)
  • Diagnostic Chart Fin and Tail Rot: Fins appear ragged and split. In severe cases, fins,and tail are almost completely eroded. Secondary fungal infections, observed as white, "cottony" growth, commonly occur. Open Red Sores: A bacterial infection that causes open red sores on body. Infections can range from very small ulcers to deep skin lesions. Coloring can range from reddish or gray ulcers to very dark areas associated with necrotic (dying) tissue. Mouth Fungus: Common bacterial infection that affects the mouth and other soft tissue. Fungus-like in appearance with red periphery. If left untreated severe erosion and lesions will develop. Hemorrhagic Septicemia: A bacterial infection of the bloodstream. Fish may show blood streaks on the body and fins, bleeding (red patches) and localized swelling. Bacterial Gill Disease: Fish may breath heavily and show bright red gills. Fish may sit at bottom of aquarium or near the water's surface. However, visual diagnosis is often difficult. Treatment Tips Quarantine aquarium. Remove any dead fish immediately. Do not remove or add any live fish to the infected aquarium. Bacterial pathogens can be spread to other aquariums by nets, algae scrapers and wet hands. To aid osmoregulation and ease stress of infected fish in freshwater aquariums, add 1 tablespoon of API AQUARIUM SALT for each 5 gallons (19 L) of aquarium water, or 1-1/4 cup for each 100 gallons (378 L). This medication may be used with API anti-parasitic medications, API SUPER ICK CURE or API GENERAL CURE, to help prevent secondary bacterial infection.
