 | Clown Loach with Bruised Nose |
ClownyGirl  Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004   | One of my clown loaches has developed a bruise/boil white in colour on his nose. I have seen that before in clowns when I bring them home from the LFS, but this guy was in the tank already. I dont know what it is, or how to treat it. The clown seems fine, swims okay, eats well. With the others it resolved itself, but this li'l fellow has had it for a week now. Please Help! Clowny. |

He got it after I removed all the decorations to catch the yoyos. I think I may have stressed him out. Water is clean, no problems with other fish in the tank, just this clowny. He's eating well, sleeping well, doing well otherwise. |

| ClownyGirl Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004 | He's been like this for a week now. The other fellows got better in a couple of days, so I think it may be time to medicate. What do you think? |

It claims to be plant and filter safe, and I haven't seen any evidence of a mini-cycle being triggered after it has been used, so I think for once the claims are ba Last edited by Calilasseia at 02-Apr-2005 18:52  |

| ClownyGirl Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004 | I used terramycin 250 meg which has erythromycin in it with is like a common med for birds and fish and human babies  His bump is much smaller now, and he is doing fine. I think I dont need to re-med the tank. I think Myxacin has erythromycin too, but I couldnt get to it. Thanks for all your support  |
