LAST FEW PICTURES MAY BE DISTRESSING TO SOME. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. :-(
We got Robin in Feb this year. This is him in Feb
In June
July
He just got what we thought was fin rot in July/August so started treatment with daily water changes with salt added. Did that daily for about 10 days & lost some more of his back tail so asked about medicine. I'm in Australia so most meds suggested here aren't available. We treated with aquacycline & sulfa for 9 days & it just got worse.
August
7th Sept
As you can see it kept eating away at his tail & fin & spread to his anal fin & body plus he got black dots on his body also.
It was not fin rot as believed. Was something more sinister. He was eating & swimming as normal which made it even harder to accept that he was seriously ill. I hope no one else has to see their fish like this. It was awful.
RIP Robin :-(
