|  To euthanize or not? Ok, today Sharkey has got a chunk of what appears to be bloody flesh hanging from those spots over his eye...I've salted, water changed and medicated...the meds the LFS gave me I soaked the food in, but he won't eat.  Other fishies are picking on him as well today... What should I do? A few responses would be REALLY appreciated at this point...I don't wanna lose him, but I'm not sure what else I can do...

| Now being as how a lot of fish are showing symptoms, albeit some different symptoms, should I just treat the whole 55?

| Ok...went to the LFS and they gave me Metronidazole...the instructions say you can treat the whole tank and/or the food...I took the carbon out...I'll put that in and see how we do... Thanks for the really quick replies Lotus, I really appreciate it!

| K...now if I quarrantine, do I just take some tank water out of the tank he's in and put it into say...the 5G I've got? Cuz since they're all empty, they're not cycled...I've never done a Q tank... He's hiding in a plant at the moment, and everyone seems to be leaving him alone for now...

| Also, I don't have a heater to put in...but the temps of all my tanks so far this summer are running about 78* or higher...so I shouldn't need one, right? Bare bottom, right? Add in any plants of hiding spots?

| Do you have a filter on the 5 G? Take some of the media out of your larger tank's filter and put it in the filter in the 5 g if you can. If not take a handful of gravel or what have you out of it and put that in there.
