Sick CBB (Pics included)

[Mutley29]

Just home from work and noticed my CBB is not looking well at all.

Here are the pics (sorry they are on the large side)

Everyone else in the tank seems fine and healthy including their appetites.

What is wrong with the fish and what if anything can i do about it?

All help appreciated

IS he still eating? Kinda looks like an internal infection or some kinda bactrial infection that has gotten under the scales and into the tissue....The only thing I can think of is to QT asap and treat with a over all med like Lifegaurd. Unless you can pinpoint exactly what it is. Lifegaurd treats bactrial and parisite infections. It is a good over all treatment to use when you are not sure exactly what it is. This way you are not subjecting the fish to many meds one after another.

Thanx for the help.

He went down hill very very fast, tried dosing him with several medicines but i fear he was too far gone

Thanx again

My favorite pic of him/her
