I just bought it and paid $90 so I think I’ll take it back. I don’t want it to die and I only have one tankLooks like a pretty severe bacterial infection. Can you move it to a treatment tank and dose with antibiotics?
Jay
Yes I just bought it. I called the store and told the owner about it but he said he’ll bet it’s just excess mucus from stress and that it should be safe to put in my tank. I have to take Ubers back and forth and it’s about $50 total on good days so if I take it back and he says it’s not an infection I’ve now wasted $130 on the fish plus ridesLooks like something in additional to Jay's assessment on its' body ? Pics are fuzzy. Looks like fish is in a bag. Was this just purchased ? If so- DO return it and if they truly sold this fish to you in this condition, Take my advice:
SHOP AT A DIFFERENT STORE . . . even if you have to drive an hour away. Chances are , their systems are connected sharing same filter and water and other fish may be sick
Thank you!! https://youtube.com/shorts/4Lbiyn24hFU?feature=shareUsually best to upload video to youtube first then share here buddy
Not sure how:Yes I just bought it. I called the store and told the owner about it but he said he’ll bet it’s just excess mucus from stress and that it should be safe to put in my tank.

I’ll call back tomorrow and see if he’ll exchange itNot sure how:
a- he can assess a fish without seeing it
b- sell a fish like this unless he wears the same glasses as Mr. Magoo
c- how this fish after or within an hour has produced such mucus and obtained such stress
Again- I would seek a different store. Take clear(er) photos and show him what lack of care and knowledge he possesses.
Fish is curable but now you are talking about obtaining anti-biotics, etc and if you have to take the same ride to get these meds- Take the fish Back instead.
Mr magoo:
I hope he’s honest and doesn’t try to lie about it knowing I knew to this stillI’ll call back tomorrow and see if he’ll exchange it
Ugh, if it came from the store like that they never should have sold it to you - the lesion is so large that the fish is having trouble swimming.
I know I feel so bad for it and hate that I don’t have another tank to quarantine it in. I feel like he may not take it back but I’m sure as hell gonna try. I just called him again to tell him I’m sure it’s an infection but he didn’t answer.Ugh, if it came from the store like that they never should have sold it to you - the lesion is so large that the fish is having trouble swimming.
