no, I did look at the site, his skin was all puffed, jiggley and soft, started in his legs and worked up. All I can think of is it might of started when I got really sick one winter and his tank got really dirty and I couldn't clean it for a long time. I have always used filters and a filtration system and done things the same way for the past um teen years.I don't understand all this talk of bacteria , nitrate levels and such that people throw out..it is to hard for me to understand. I do what the the drops on the bottle says, when I clean his tank and he poops a lot so I put him in a container with some of his water and dump the rest and when I put him back in that water goes back in with him..the one time it was tested by the petstore guy he said it was fine. I did saline soaks that my vet said to do for 2 wks and it did nothing.
I live in the central part of Illinois, in a small town in between to 2 cities that have small pet stores that really don't have much for pet stores
