 | Scales missing... |
wheezo Fish Addict Posts: 675 Kudos: 293 Votes: 1 Registered: 22-Jul-2003   | Hey guys, I have a killifish that seemed to have a slight injury with a few scales missing. I thought that was normal, but then it grew the portion of missing scales grew larger. The injury started off like 1mm and now it's like 1/4 in. in diameter. I did a water change. pH around 7.5 and temperature around 68-70. (This is the condition I kept them in for about a year already.) What should I do? He's not looking too good... or at least the wound doesn't. |
