Scales of BN is not looking good

Hi all,

What could be this problem below? The scales are not like the others. Seems like a disease or something?

ok, firstly Bristlenose don't have scales...they are scaleless fish

but yes, something is def amiss there. Looks like an open wound behind the eye there, most likely a bacterial infection. I would get her into a hospital tank if you have one, if not no big deal, then treat with a broard scale anti-biotic like multi-cure (AT HALF DOSE, full dose will kill her).

see how that goes

is the following good?

eSHa 2000 - Fungus, Finrot and Bacteria Treatment

eSHa 2000's wide range action treat over 18 symptoms and disease organisms.
eSHa 2000 treats a wide range of fungal, bacterial and parasitic infections, helps heal wounds and protects the skin layer. Use eSHa 2000 for Fungus, Dropsy, bacteria, skin problems, gill problems, fin rot, tail rot, ulcers and wounds. Also for Neon Tetra disease and many others.

If your unable to obtain antibiotics (some countries it needs to be perscibed by a vet), so if you have eSHa 2000 to hand I'd start a course ASAP.

and should i quarantine or in main tank?

I would quarantine her if it is possible for you...always safer that way..It does look like a secondary infection after an injury..Best of luck with her..

I always use ESHA2000......works a treat everytime...

ok then i will quarantine him and try it out.

Thanks
