I hv seen this one on my rtg's body a few wks' ago, not so serious but after i do 50% wc, the redness has more or less disappeared. For me, wc is very important apart from medication treatment.

Anyone knows what causes this condition? Where does the infection come from? Contaminated feeders/water?

Bro,
Have some experience on this before , it take quite some time to cure but try the slow process. I used Furan 3 and raised temp slightly high than normal. Water level keep low and use the KP leaves concentrated. See if it helps...

Regards

Hi, Bro
During the temperature to set is recommend at about 30 degree. Try not to change too much water, about 1 inch or 2 inch every weeks.

Remember to clean the filter as it would trap the dirt and excess medicine use

Discard any wool filter when used once.

if you have any old coral chip in your tank, throw away and change new ones.
