Hello guys,
So I have had this baby shark for about 2 months, he's about 4-5 inches long, living in a 55 gal (for now) with 6 young angelfish. Water temp is 84, ph 7.6, no ammonia or anything. I run an aquaclear 110 filter, and have all live plants. Suddenly I noticed a week and a half ago that his tail and anal fins have red veins running through and look really red and irritated. As soon as I saw it I removed him to a temporary 5 gallon hospital tank by himself, and treated with salt for 3 days, no improvement. So I changed all the water (besides the partial daily changes) and did tetracycline instead for 4 days as directed. Again no improvement. What else can I do? He's stressed and not eating, and still has what looks like hemorrhagic septicemia. Pretty attached to him, and really don't want to euthanize.
