My Rainbow shark is not looking that great

[Ro Bow]

Would kana plex work

if you have it try it

 

[UkiahTheTurtle]

Ok

Yikes- a lot of wild guessing. Biggest thing I see is cotton mouth and fungal/bacterial activity. Signs of fungal on such fish are:

• Head and mouth regions eroded or rotting covered with white cotton wool like growths
• Off white cotton-wool like tufts develop around the mouth fins and on the body… as in the case of your shark
• clean water followed by adding epsom salt to the tank will help greatly.​
• Tetra lufeguard or API fungus cure will help​
• Increase oxygen when treating​

I added some fungus cure

Should I do the exact dosage
also how much epsom salt

 

[UkiahTheTurtle]

Should I give my rainbow shark a epsom salt bath?

very distressed as this has been developing. Increase oxygen as mentioned and dose at 80% of recommended

Lots of folks have chimed in, but I think some more background information is important in understanding what might be going on here:

What other fish are in with it?
How long has it had these spots?
What anti-fungal medication did you try?
Do you know the pH and ammonia levels of the water?

Sorry for your loss. I’ve had a rainbow shark once, and they’re definitely great fish.
