This morning I got "summoned" to the Watch Commander's Office and I thought I was in trouble for "something".... Turns out his fish is ill. Ideas? I think I have most AAP meds in my first aid kit so I'll give him whatever he needs and I'll just order more to replace.  Big boss wants...big boss gets. Mike  |

Looks like maybe columnaris. If it is, treat with a Kanaplex/ Furan 2 mix. Along with salt/MB baths maybe? That's what Carls articles say to treat columnaris with. I have used that combo with success.

In my opinion, looks like it got scrapped and grew fungus in the sore. I've seen where this can heal itself, with clean water and good minerals. Could also suggest lowing the temp to 75 for a while and some salt. Monitor it for a while.
Still eating I'm assuming.

He mentioned that the two fish pictured go at it quite often so it very well could have stemmed from a previous injury. I'm going to give him a wonder shell and some of my salt. Both are eating and active thus far.....

A Medicated Wonder Shell might be a good choice, followed by strong meds and a swab/bath treatment (using Kanaplex/Furan 2) if this does not get better. Carl |

I had given him Kanaplex and Furan 2 before so he has that. I'll give him one of my medicated shells to go along with the regular Wonder Shell and Salts... Mike Maybe he'll listen to me for a change and buy a UV Sterilizer  |

Mike Maybe he'll listen to me for a change and buy a UV Sterilizer So how did it turn out? Happy fish with a UV sterilizer, or replacement fish and now it's all your fault? |

I haven't heard from him since, he's just been promoted to Deputy Chief so I hope for the sake of my career the fish are still alive |

Thanks Carl, I will see him again...it's just not as easy. Senior command staff have their own suite that you just can't walk into. You have to be invited Mike |

We have breaching kits I was envisioning the military/no-knock dynamic entry, rather than the relatively polite prying door off hinges/ripping door up method.  |
