Hello everyone,
Some backstory:
Raising this one for past 4 months it was 2cm long when I get it and grew super fast up to 14cm.
Cycled tank, bare bottom , kept at temperature 18C, fed variety of foods like earthworms, two kinds of axolotl pellets, salmon pellets you name it this little thing ate like a piggy, ate everyday
Fast forward to two weeks ago, it lost all appetite. Woudnt eat anything for a week lethargic and lost some of the coloration. No visible signs sickness on its body
Week 2 without food, still not idea what it might be , offered food daily and do a 70% water-change every day dropped temperature to 11C;
3 days ago noticed a bump under its mouth lower jaw
Started it on a round of erythromycin antibiotic for past 4 days hoping it might help.
Appetite somewhat shows it tries to eat worms/pellets if its offered near its head, then swallow and after like 5 - 10minutes it throws them up. Before it would hunt over the aquarium regardless of where food was dropped.
Does anyone have any insight what this might be or is familiar with the symptoms or how to treat it and with what?
Is it bacterial? Fungal? ( doubt ), something else?
