HELP !!! NACHO JR. IS SICK

Bubs2 · Oct 22, 2017

I just walked back to the tank after studying and nacho jr is missing!! After looking around the tank 5 minutes later he shows up on the sand breathing heavily and his partner taco is biting him hard!! They've been together since RAP 2016 so I have no idea what happened they were fine before. He is really sick and weak and his eyes are popping out when i netted him he didnt even struggle at all and when he escaped the fish box he got sucked into a pump on the side of it. Also his skin is all blotchy ans his eyes are popped out and his fins are bitten!! Heres pics of him :

@Humblefish, @melypr1985, doesn't look good. Have there been any recent additions to the tank?

I am truly sorry, but he is done.

Let's look at helping the others in your tank.

My suggestion would to treat with a kanoplex, bound with focus with the frozen. To help with the tank immune systems, dose vitamin c and b-12.

I think it was caused by his partner taco, she was beating on him badly his fins are really badly bitten off

Can you put him in a QT and try the kanaoplex?

Actually only one eye seems clouded the other one not so much

Between bilateral popeye and the overall blotchiness, I'm thinking there's something seriously bacterial going on with Mr. Nacho Jr.

You may find something here you can use: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/bacterial-infections.191511/#post-2196167

Tl/dr version; try a wide-spectrum course of antibiotics - Furan-2, Metroplex & kanaplex are a combination that's worked for many here.

^^ Agree with Bruce. What probably started out as an injury (compliments of Taco) has now gotten infected.

If Naco survives this, the marriage to Taco is over. Divorce proceedings to be held at Chipotle.

Not looking to good for nacho jr. I don't think he will make it through the night his breathing is heavier and i can tell its hard for him to keep up poor nacho jr
