Green Banded Goby disease ID

[pcd0925]

Received 2 green banded gobies today. One is healthy but the other one is breathing heavier than the other one, and his head is covered in some sort of slimy stuff. He also has some sort of hole in his side.

That is a severe bacterial infection, the mucus is the natural response from the fish fighting the infection.

Thanks is there anything you recommend to treat it?

 

[HotRocks]

I would recommend NFG first and foremost.

Or Kanaplex + Metroplex + Furan-2.

Treat for 10-14 days in a QT.
