I have a Gray or Black angel who stopped eating a couple weeks ago, and now has developed a large swollen area on the left side . This happened right after moving him from a quarantine tank where it was treated with Furan 2 antibiotic. Anyone have any ideas what this could be. Thanks

I had to redo it. The picture is up now.

I think that may be a bacterial infection. How long did you use the furan 2?@ngoodermuth @HotRocks @4FordFamily @Big G

Did two treatments in quarantine tank with a water change between treatments. Someone mention that it could be from some trauma when I moved him from the quarantine to the regular tank. If it does not improve I will have to move him back to quarantine.

You should probably move him back now, even though the box says 2 treatments usually 10 to 14 days is needed for infections. The experts I tagged above will tell you what you need to give him. From the pic it looks pretty severe

#mods, can this be moved to the fish disease and treatment forum?

Meds are notoriously slow working on saltwater fish. Give the fish the full 10-14 days. Then observe. It's hard to tell from the pictures where exactly the swelling is on the fish. Can you help us to help you with a bit more info?
Just in case you need to use it, the "trifecta" of Metro + Furan2 + Kanaplex can cover an incredibly large spectrum of aliments. Beautiful fish BTW.

Thank you very much, I will try that the fish is back in quarantine now. Thanks again
