Cherry Barb Mouth issue |
Subject: Cherry Barb Mouth issue by SarahF on 22/6/2014 18:11:02 Hello everyone, Sorry it has been so long but I'm have a cherry barb with a mouth/jaw problem and this was the first place I thought to come for help. An adult male cherry has his mouth fully open with some colour distortion and what looks like a tiny blob of cotton wool inside, a bit like a mouth ulcer (?) He doesn't seem distressed but it is distressing to look at so he must be in pain. I also haven't seen him eat. We had an ammonia spike a few weeks ago but is back under control now and this has just appeared. The gravel is black and about 3 mm (very fine) so I don't believe he has anything stuck Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10-20 pH 6.8 350 L tank 17 cherry barbs 15 x ray tetras 6 otos 1 bristle nose plec 1 gold ram |
