New problems with blue hippo

roadrashpaul · Dec 5, 2013

Anyone have any idea what this could be? I can get better pics if need be later tonight with the good camera. I have caught him and he is now in a qt. It doesn't appear to be ich but I could be wrong. Any suggestions? They are pretty good sized and raised off his body. He does have a few white specs on him as well. He is 6-7" and eating very well still (shrimp, flake, and nori).

Here he is less than a week ago. I have not changed anything.

It is possible. I talked to a few people last night and we narrowed it down to some kind of bacterial infection. I am treating him with API Erythromycin. Gave him first dose last night and it could just be my wishful thinking but he looked better to me already this morning.
