I just fed the fish in my 55 gallon community tank a little early and I happened to notice that my RTBS had it's fins clamped tight against its body and was rubbing against a rock. I'm assuming it's got an external parasite,so I quarantined it and treated it with parasite medication. At this time is there any other action I need to be taking?
Thanks for any help

All I can actually think of you have already done or are already doing...quarantine, and keep an eye on him...look to see if he has white spots (Ich), and feed him, see if all looks normal coming out the other end...check back with us and let us know the update....best of luck, heidi
