Honestly I need HELP!!!! My Danio is under the weather, and he has some kind of see through gel around him and, as far as I can see, is bleeding underneath this covering. So someone HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bleeding? Where does it look like it's bleeding from?
Is the covering over the entire fish, or just over part of it?
Can you provide us with a bit more information about the tank. Test results from ammonia, nitrIte, nitrate. How large of a tank, what occupants and how long it's been set up. What types of medications have you tried so far?

Hi Ruby, first things first, get him in a quarantine tank, i don't like the sounds of that...

next are there any others in the tank that have the similar problem? What else is in the tank with your little danio? What size of tank do you currently have him in? How long has it been set up? And can you get the water parameters? Actual numbers not just fine, ok, or wonderful, please

To me it sounds maybe like a fungus of some sort maybe...

You can always try treating him with Melafix until we find out what is truly wrong with him...Melafix is kind of like a fixall...or a good med to keep around...

Let us know and someone will be able to figure this one out...best of luck, hml
