Hi guys, I have a very urgent question for anyone who can help me.
This past weekend I came home to find my leucistic axie, Ketos, looking a little more pink than usual. It's a full body thing, not just his tail-- hence my concern. I did some research and at first thought that perhaps it was a bacterial infection called Aeromonas hydrophila, because a lot of the symptoms seem to match and he had gotten a small cut on his tail a few days before.
First I changed the water completely, scrubbed everything in his tank with water and put him back in. He still didn't seem to be getting any better, so I went out and bought some pet store bacterial remedy. It doesn't seem to be working either, and I'm very confused as to what could be wrong, especially since I've been doing everything exactly the same since I got him in November.
In addition to the now bright red-ness (it almost looks like a really bad sunburn), his tail is really veiny, he isn't eating near as much, and is very sluggish with his movements. He also seems to be "floating" more than usual and resting on top of one of his decorations near the surface of the water.
If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated !
