Re: Hole through fish!!??
#13
I'm afraid it's a mixed bag - some bad news, some good:
The hole now looks bigger (wider) on both sides. It's quite shocking to be honest, however it isn't as raw (pink) as it was and the swelling around the middle of the fish has gone.
Behavior has also improved with the fish hiding and reacting better. Previously if I moved a rock there was no sense of urgency to get out of the way which made catching very easy. Tonight I moved a rock and the fish shot out and under another rock.
I also fed a spirulina tab to gauge interest in food and response was very good, I just need to take care not to overfeed. I think I'm going to continue with the Octozin anti-parasite meds and keep fingers crossed.
I have a question then. I'm fairly sure that the fish has a parasite. Should I dose the main display tank with meds too?
