PLS HELP...should I euthanize? bloating anus...UPDATE thread.

[bingerz]

Can someone help me out with what this is? It does not look good. It looks like fish hemmoroids or something. I just raised the temperature to 84 and added some aquarium salt because i think another fish has a lil ick on it. it looks like it's getting better. i just noticed this hemmoroid fish today that wasn't there yesterday or this morning.

here are some pictures.

the ick fish, see a few splotches to the bottom right of his dorsal? and that dot on his tail fin?


the other fish with the hemmoroids:

someone suggested that it could be Callamanus Worms?? is that coming from the vent? isnt the dot in front the anus?

need water parameters, temp,and what you feed them

i'm gonna go get my water tested today....the temperature right now is 84 (added aquarium salt (<2tblspoons/5gallons) and increased the temp because of the ich on fish 1)....dropped the level of water to increase more water agitation/more oxygen...and i started feeding them last fri. with some new life spectrum food pellets...2mm sinking.

ok....ive been treating wit epsom salts. n it looks like its gotten worse....since 10 days ago. it looks like it spread to different areas...under the pelvic fins. i'll let the pictures speak for themselves. i took her out. i saw her doing...the T position to another fish? it looked like it.

let me just say...she looks and acts fine. other than the sleeping at the top of the water at night. thats about it.

It looks like some form of fish herpes . Good luck with a more accurate diagnosis!

Best regards,

I was going to pitch in on the epsom salts but youve already added that, and looking at the recent pictures I think you are going to need meds to save them. Just wish I could advise what but im not sure what it is.

I put her/him in the freezer....it sucks to have to do this. i hate giving up, i hate quitting, i felt like i did.

Sorry to hear this. Don't beat yourself up though. You did what you could. And although I'm no fish disease expert, based on these pics I have the feeling that putting him/her down was also the right thing to do.
