If I was to separate him from the tank. Do you use any rock or anything or just a filter air and water

[troy tucker]

Looks to me like fungul or bacterial infection.

[aesl1982]

Should I treat in main tank or separate him to a ten gallon

[troy tucker]

pull him out and in to a 10g and treat him. you don't need rocks or even a filter just lots of air and meds. you will need to do water changes 50% everyday with the meds. or what ever the meds tell you.

I put him in his own tank and he ended up jumping out of the tank I found him laying in kitchen floor about ten foot from tank. So I picked him up and he was flopping so I decided to give him a chance at least now hes back in tank with a lid over it and he's not swimming much but he's breathing. Hea fighting hard hopefully hell pull though

He's doing fine now about a few days later im suprised he's still alive

[aesl1982]

He finally kicked it. Time to find a replacement

[troy tucker]

that sucks. sorry to hear...

[Totenkampf]

many fish will jump if u medicate, it seems they get agitated.

[aesl1982]

Thanks for the input. At least I can say I tried

[troy tucker]

If you keep fish. you will have fish die.

[aesl1982]

That's understandable in two years that's only my second one to die. First one that I've had for awhile
