I have read those threads you mention, but nothing fits.... Not fully anyway.. *sigh* I just wish I knew what I could do to help my little man

Unfortunately sometimes it is hard to figure out whats going on :( Aquarium salt is used to treat pretty much any external injuries or problems. I generally wouldn't recommend treatment without knowing what you are treating, but if you ever think that you may lose your fish, I don't see the harm in trying.

But, only if you're sure its an "either you try and succeed, try and fail, or don't try and fail" type of situation.

That is very useful, thankyou.. I don't think I'm going to loose him just yet, I just think he's suffering and I hate (as anyone would) not being able to help him
I'm going to try the salts, just hope that can help him sooner rather than later..

If anything, the AQ salt will help the injury on his side, and hopefully something else we haven't figured out yet. :)

Given the first dose of aq salt, fingers crossed!

IAL is a better treatment option.
