bacterial gill rot with algae and fungus growing on the fish. peroxide dip 1 part
peroxide, 9 parts water 10 second dip. antibiotic injections would be best, but
kanamycin or gentamycin in the water and in the food. if you have a scope, so scrape
to see if the slime coat is building up from parasites. otherwise, pink gills is
not good, dont overdo any other meds in teh water. excellent aeration and keep em
cool. isnt good prognosis. Ingrid
