Hello all,
A few days ago I noticed my Kole Tang swimming nose down in my tank. I also noticed a small lump on both of its sides. I assumed this to be a swim bladder issue so I moved the Tang to a hospital tank. I did not see any injuries to the fish so my assumption was that it was perhaps a bacterial infection. The tang has been in the hospital tank for 1.5 days now and I have treated with some broad spectrum antibiotics, Seachem Kanaplex.
I checked this morning and I can see that the lump seems to be a little bit larger and the fish is upside down, but still breathing and swimming a bit.
1) Can anyone suggest any other treatments to try?
2) Is there anyway I can help the fish remain upright in the hospital tank? It just looks so uncomfortable.
thanks for any suggestions.
