I got no idea wat it is & cnt advise u on tat.

But can share with u wat worked for me previously.

I suggest doing a 20-30% wc prior to dosing ur medication in.
Add ur usual water conditioner in den add water.

Den add 0.1-0.3% epson salt into a container, stir & dilute & pour into tank.

Heater to remain on at 30-32 degress.

Gota wc daily & monitor ur aro.

Better to find out d sickness 1st b4 u start dosing medications in.

If u got rays or catfish den gota becareful with d salt dosage.

Best if u have a hospital tank to isolate & treat d affected fish.

My $0.02, hope it helps...

My xb have the symptom you mention at the tail part. What I do is to maintain good water parameter, add salt during each wc, increase the temp to 32 and increase the air rate .

No medication is require, but it takes me nearly to 1 month then the pimple disappear.

Actually the red body sore is at the middle of the body under the scale, and the scale some how a bit pop up at the edge. unable to take any photo with the phone as water is greenish due to medication.

Try WC 50% more often, if can, daily. watch the appetite , if eating, then should be ok after 1 or 2 week. This happens to me before when I lazy and did not WC for a long time (2wks plus)

This works for me and I did not put in any medication.

bro, be patient.

I suggest wc at 20% on every alternate day.

previously, I used the multicure and up the temp.

lastly, clear, clean and wash all filter materials weekly.

reduce feeding for the time being.

btw, what do you feed the aro?

the pimple thing should clear within a week.

I am giving it pure pellet diet. Have nt been feeding since yesterday morning. WC 10%, change in filter media plus up the temp to 32degree yesterday evening. Hope to c some form of improvement soon.
Does anyone knows what QH yellow powder does? I read that its a form of antibiotic online. Will it be useful in such case (or any other situation that I can use it for)?
