Red Streaks (hemorrhagic septicemia) photo - euthanize?

[maronov]

Fish inactive, not eating, not moving. Euthanize?

Treat I think. If he's not very old, or in great distress, I try not to euthanize a fish. One of my guppies was so badly swollen one morning she pineconed out, and I made the decision and had her in clove oil in under three minutes.

I'd try jungle labs, tank buddies fungus treatment first. Works pretty well for hemoragic...

it looks like his barbells are a little worn down.. what toher fish are in the tank.

try moving to him QT and see what happens.

I probably should've mentioned that I treated him with antibiotics in a QT tank for a few days, and that he hasn't eaten for over 4 days.

maracyn-2 is the prescribed treatment for septicemia in fish.. have you used that yet?

 

[maronov]

Fish died... I hope the infection wasn't viral.
