do you know how he got this ? IE Fighting, struggling for a new cave, heater etc ? I would separate him into a Q tank and treat with the 2 fixes. good luck cheers jk :thumbup:

hard to say if dont find cause. what else is in tank? is heater covered?
treat with either the melafix and pimafix combo or try esha2000 to help heal and prevent infection. if you can move him to a qt tank that will help
