[Symptoms] You can suspect a bacterial infection if you see any of the following symptoms: Fin Rot Excessive Gill Movement Red Streaks Excessive Hiding White Film Listlessness Open Sores Cloudy Eye Sunken Belly, Bulging Eye (Popeye), Mouth Fungus (Contagious) [Solution] Notes: Most fish have a good natural resistance to bacterial infections, and a healthy fish will often be able to resist an infection on its own. For this reason not all bacterial infections are contagious. Often only the weaker, older, and most susceptible fish will succumb. The best way to prevent bacterial infections is to feed the fish quality foods, and maintain a healthy environment so that their natural resistance will help them fight the infection. Treatment: Raise temperature to 80 degrees, Do a partial water change. Add one of the following antibiotics: * Maracyn ( Fin rot, white growths) * Maracyn II ( Eye cloud, sores, red streaks, popeye, bloat, fin rot) * Furan-2 ( Mouth fungus, fin rot, sores) * Tetracycline ( Hospital tanks, use for serious infections: will discolor water) * Jungle Fungus Eliminator If no response is seen within 4 days, switch to a different medication. Bacterial infections are often associated with external parasites, and a combination treatment for parasites is usually advisable. [Problem]
