水草情迷

Is there anyone can help me to find out why there is a white spot on my bristlenose face??
The white spot is just below his eye, actually the spot is bigger than his eye!!!! Im very worry about that unknown spot.
Thank you very much!!

病名: 體表潰爛
原因: 大多是結核病或柱狀病、棉絲病、膚胞子黴感染等。
症狀: 體表初期出現傷口，時間愈久傷口範圍欲明顯，有些情況轉變成紅腫，有些則是出現白色潰爛。魚兒最終衰弱而死。急性三至五天，慢則可以拖一至二月。
治療: sera baktopur

Anyway, do try some medicine, such as the one proposed by 15 above, and see if
the fish could recover...

你要小心用藥....Catfish 類的魚用藥份量要減半~
最好跟足說明指示去用藥...否則條魚同你 Bye bye~~~

Some of my friends tell me that, I can use a bit of salt water to help my catfish to recover. Uhm,,,, so I try it.

That what I did: Separate the catfish into the different bowl, get some of the water from the orginal tank then add a little bit of salt. Leave the catfish there for about 25mins.

But the catfish is still look the same.

That's useless San.San...
Your Bn won't recover with the use of salt *ALONE*....Salt is only for the prevention of bacteria growth in the tank water, you need to remember that it is NOT a medicine that can treat diseases..especially in your case~ Your Bn seems to be infected with some type of parasite (i'm not really sure what parasite it is though )..causing skin lesion, and finally lead to secondary inflammation of the wound.

What you should do now is to seperate the bn into another tank with it's own air pump. Use the water from the original tank then add some methyl-blue medicine AND salt. You must then do some water changes of the original tank since your tank has been contaminated with the unknown disease, and add salt into the tank too! Hope this help...

pinoki,

Thank you for telling!!! I don't even know it have become that worse!!!
I will do what you have said immediately. Thanks

No worries...
Just becareful on the dosage when you add the medicine to the bn~
While you are isolating the bn in it's own tank, place some food for it to chew on...a slice of cooked zucchini / broccoli / cucumber would be great for the bn, or you can place a small piece of algae waffer for it nip on.

For the preparation of the vegetables mentioned above, just simply slice a thin piece of zucchini / broccoli / cucumber, boil it until it soften...then place it under tap water to cool it down and place it into the bn's tank. (If you don't cook the vegetables, they won't sink~)

Oh..one more thing that you need to remember is to add a little bit of salt (aquarium safe) to the tank everytime when you do water changes. This can restrict the growth of a wide range of bacteria / parasites, thus preventing development of diseases.

Anyway, good luck to your bn and hope it will recovery very soon~ Cheers~~(^^)p

Hi, everyone!

My Bristlenose still haven't recover yet, his white spot have become a "red" spot.
I had try everything as I can, but it still the same.... well actually it is getting worse!

I don't really know what else should I do now, everytime when I look at my bristlenose I can feel the pain too.
