Hi Ric365 - the redness, especially in the Majestic, does look like bacteria ... but the overall pale look also has me worried about the possibility of velvet or Brooklynella.

It's going to be impossible to tell just exactly what sort of bacteria you're dealing with, short of a laboratory culture, so most folks use broad-spectrum antibiotics that will help deal with a wide variety of bacteria at the same time. The "trifecta" of Furan-2, Kanaplex, and Metroplex has served well, but is beginning to be eclipsed by Spectrogram and, if you're not also dosing copper, Nitrofuracin Green (NFG), which is very highly regarded.

Some good news - Metronidazole, the active ingredient in Metroplex, should also help if Brooklynella is in play.

A photo of the fish in the water would be helpful in refining any diagnosis and treatment.

well thnks a lot dude
actually i dont know with what i'm dealing about.
everyday in 3 row days i add the fish in formaline medication in separated container and its seems not has any significant progress
now im try with chloroquine phospate whom can be able to reduce the brooks and velvet.. so i think its gonna be more wise for me who don't know what kind of the disease.

let me update any progress of those fish in next few days

I'm not convinced of brook or velvet yet. I see translucent spots on the scales...I'm worried that you have flukes. Have these fish received a freshwater bath to check for flukes? I would do this ASAP.

 

[HotRocks]

Sorry I missed this...

Are the fish still living? Did you start any antibiotics? The majestic definitely appears to have a bacterial infection. Which this type of infection seen is usually secondary to some sort of parasite affliction whether it be velvet, brook, etc.

I agree with bacterial infection.

I also agree the navarchus looks "flukey".

I would check for flukes and start nfg immediately.
