Hello,
I've had an ADF for a couple of weeks. The other day I noticed a red bump on his nose. It seems to have gotten worse today. Do you know what this is and if it can be treated.
Here is a link to a photo: http://www.littlechisel.com/images/DSC03670.JPG
I tried to attach a photo, but it's telling me that it's not a valid image file. It's a 78 kb jpeg so not sure why that's not working.
Thank you!
It's not uncommon for ADFs to rub their noses on the glass, as most are farmed in outdoor ponds and are not used to glass aquariums. Once they get a lesion, bacteria can set in quickly. I suggest putting him in a QT and treating with a broad spectrum antibiotic. Keep an eye on him in QT to make sure a fungal infection doesn't take hold during the antibiotic treatment.
I have 2 adf s and one of them is a little sittish and she smashes her face on her way back down into the gravel. I wouldn't be suprised to see that on mine. Just a thought it looks like a bruise. My other one is like 007 mixed with ninja he's very calm and playful .
