Blake91 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I'm not the most experienced so i need some help with my current situation. My male gold saum started off with a case of pop eye (what i thought it was) about 5-6 days ago i have treated with melafix and performed 50% water changes every 3rd day as i was away for work last night I have just come home to what looks like both eyes swollen and cloudy and a swollen mouth on the left side (picture). Not sure what is wrong and how to treat so any help would be great, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I think your only chance is to add antibiotics to his food. Oxytetracycline is probably the easiest to find in a pet shop, Just mix with a bit of cod liver oil and coat the food. I can't remember the dose rate, but I'm sure google can help. Forgot to say, I think its a systemic bacterial infection, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadFishFloating Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Mate how long have you had this fish? it aint in very good condition is all maybe its just the camera angle but it seems..... too small to be that mature, with a head thats too large. water test results would help terminalia leaves couldnt hurt either would a bit of salt but long term I think you need to look at its diet mate.
