Bloody Nostrils?
I purchased 5 golden rams on Friday and today I see one has developed red nostrils that wasn't present yesterday.
I read a similar posting on Simply Discus where many were suggesting that pale color fish simply have this trait or grow out of it, another person said it may be a bacterial infection that happened to one of his canary yellows that within a couple days had spread and caused its eyes to bulge like popeye does. He treated it with Kanamyacin and all was well.
I need some advice, as I owned rams before not having much luck the first go round yet here I am again owning them. I mentioned this last week while in a fish store to which was suggested that I purchase a UV steralizer. Would this be a good idea?
If isolation and treatment with Kanamyacin is recommended, can I get this at any fish store or will any bacterial medicine work?
The tank is about 75 gallons and understocked housing only a stripped loach, 5 albino corries, 7 ottos, 1clown pleco, 1 zebra dano, 1 ember tetra and about 1.5 dozen yellow shrimp. It is lightly planted and I just did about a 30% water change on Sunday and there are no detectable nitrates or nitrites.
