horse faced loach

fishbguy · 07-02-2007, 07:20 AM

i have a 3 inch long horse faced loach in my tank with a kuhli loach, pearl gourami, 5 harlequin rasboras, and 2 bamboo shrimp. the HFL has an open wuond in the middle of his body. he also has little white bumps around his head. i am willing to bet money that they are not ich. they are too big and bumpy. he also seems to have lost the ability to move the last 1/2 inch of his body. i have no clue how he got these. i am currently treating him with melefix and ich stuff at half strength just in case. any suggestions on what i can do?

Check the date

The loack died about 2 days after he got the cut. The substrate is gravel, but largish, rounded pepples...nothing sharp.
