novafishy Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 how big is it?? it could be cotton mouth disease...hmm...can u post a pic? try treating with some melafix, it might temporarily help. or maybe it is bumping against the side of the tank too often? not sure.... p/s - hello fellow cherrybrook-ian! heh!

Peter_Gun_Riff Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 thats what i would say it is. is it on the barbles or coming out of the mouth its self? try a anti fungal treatment. theirs plenty on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
