I am at a loss to understand why he would add an inhabitant to the tank when he is treating for a disease?

He/She needs to back up, take a deep breath and slow down. On the current path, this is going to end badly.

Totally!

I can’t believe the bit about the heater...still in awe about that! I’m curious to see what survives the treatment....?

so am i- he went an borrowed his friend's phone, im going to facetime him in a bit and try to do a fw dip- lets hope this goes correctly! He is also making a bunch of money from his parents and so he can spend anything he needs- must be nice- he bought a 200-watt UV sterilizer for his 100-gallon tank, and 5 radion gen4 pro's and then dropped them in his tank!!! he also is convinced that he can just "buy a sump and put in under my tank"

+1 It probably has either a parasite or worm inside the gills, based on the behavior I'm seeing.

Yes. Gill Flukes perhaps

Ouch! That's harsh.

We have to be patient and guide the noob.

In a 5 gallon tank? Why doesn't this guy consult with you BEFORE he buys anything? Your friend sounds impatient. It also sounds like his LFS is taking advantage of him.

 

[MSB123]

im a bit fed up

 

[MSB123]

and the lfs is

 

[MSB123]

he doesnt know much- and he never asks anyone for advice before he buys stuff- he just texted me asking why his blue tangS are fighting! HE WENT AND GOT ANOTHER! THE LFS TOLD HIM IT WOULD BE FINE IN A 100 GALLON TANK- 3 TANGS NOW!

From the sounds of things you need to start charging him before he listens to you

 

[MSB123]

Yeah

Sometimes you just gotta walk away and let people learn the hard way. ;Shifty

What sucks is the fish has to pay the price.

 

[MSB123]

he feels that because he is doing fish only, he should just throw meds into the tank
