Fish getting worse! What infection does this guy have?

Although never used sulfathiazole, I would wait until Kanamycin arives.

How is the symptoms on RH in Q/T? Is it getting worse?

How is the pH?

When caught at early stage and given ideal water condition, fish can heal itself and symptom do disapper on its own. Thus I would wait until med arrives. If fish seems to be recovering on its own by Sat afternoon, I would continue whatever you are doing without any med.

Sulfur based med can contribute to more internal side effects which may cause further deteriorations. I would use Sulfur based med for external infections, if at all..
I would hold off on Sulfa for now, IMHO.
 
Both of my sd's are eating!!!!!!!!!!

Tom, I get the meds!!!!!!!!

It's looking good!
 
Glad to hear!
It's not over yet so pay close attention to RH until all visible symptoms subside and normal eating and swimming behaviors are resumed.

Looking forward to more GOOD NEWS!
 
Awesome, Jake!!
 
The RH are both looking better and I got some meds. I'm treating the one in the 20 gallon so we will see how it goes.
