I can't ID the disease. I really don't know.

However, if it is HLLE then take a look at the carbon he is running on his system. There is some speculation that HLLE may be associated with Carbon. Check whether it was recently replaced, or never replaced, or poor quality, etc?

Just a thought...

try dosing the tank with melafix - its an antibacterial, and tends to help clear up wounds imo. just make sure you use melafix and NOT pimafix, if you do!

crazy - that's an understatement

sorry - if you use melafix, turn off the skimmer for a day!

Leave the skimmer on - just take the cup off and let it overflow. High oxygen levels are important, especially when medicating.

I seen your fish photos. I think that it is very sick and unhealthy.It is better to be feed to the fish. I like to know about these fish that How much it's weight. You must have a good proportionality of salt in water.Check it as fast as.
