Hello -
One of two dojo loaches that I've had for nearly a year has become sick. He lives in a 72 gallon tank with a school of black skirt tetras, a school of Danios, some White Clouds and a largish plecostomus (8"). This dojo is exhibiting the following symptoms: - Lies on his side - Does not eat - Appears paralyzed from just behind his neck down to his rear fins (not tail tail fin) - Cannot move, except for "hopping" - Tries to corner itself - Has a white "rash" area on his side, near his rear fins - Has a swollen body from just behind his neck down to the white rash area - Breathes shallowly and rapidly, occasionally slowing down his breathing - Eyes appear to be black-rimmed, and slightly downturned I moved him to a 30 gal tank (filled with 10 gals water), and began treatment with Maracyn-Two, thinking he may have Dropsy and/or Gill Disease. Another thought was maybe the plecostumus rammed him and injured him? I'd like to save this old chap, and am wondering if anyone has any advice. If he's too far gone, how would you deal with him? Here is a picture of him: http://www.endofthestreet.com/helpdojo.php Thanks in advance, -Mike, Roseville, CA |
