Yes!

That's a bacterial infection that normally starts from failed sheds.

I'm 2/3 saving a leather, after it's started the blackening. I've had to cut off all the necrosis.

What kind of flow is it in? I trim away all the black then move it to medium-High flow if you have the option.

Low flow currently moved it a month or 2 ago. Could dip coral rx and brush off that bad?

Then put in higher flow.

Low flow is not suitable for most leathers as they require flow to shed. It's likely been trying to shed away the yuck but unable to, and turned necrotic.

Coral rx has nothing in it that I'm aware of, that helps on necrotic tissue. May still be worth a try.

You can try brushing off all the gunk that's there but if it's anything like mine have been, the black will come back Very quickly.

This nasty can also transfer to other leathers, So be careful about dislodging. Too much of it in your tank water.

Skin for sure thin green sheets

That tissue is dying.

 

[Nate Chalk]

On way to necrotic for sure. I think that helped shed a lot of the tissue. Should help recovery.

Colt and blue nepthea is fine!

Haven't found much that can go in my back left low flow area :/

Goes to show you don't always get to choose scape.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Well did my best and reacted to it. Thanks will keep you posted.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Retrospect it looked worse than this during the dinos. Im pulling for it. Will look better than the contest frag soon enough lol

Leather?

Yep, just wondering how urs is doing treatment wise. I feel good about it pulling through here.

Of the three I've had to treat for this, two fully recovered, lost one completely.

I like those odds

Your full course of treatment include anything different that what I've done?

That's why I was asking if there were any chunks or gouging in the flesh when pulling off the tissue, my experience when there's necrosis there's usually noticable pitting. ::Insert the missing ***** shrug emoji::

Hey trying to think of what pitting means :/ sorry.

Definitely not chunks coming off but more like see through papery strips.

I'm shrugging at myself. I feel dumb.

My full course of treatment was very simple. Aggressively cut back away from the infected flesh and move the coral into high flow. I did have to come back a few times and snip black tips as it was healing but they do heal pretty quickly
