Unknown Disease

[qshing1437]

My lionhead got some problem on its head.
It got some bloody color on part of his head, and it seem there is a tiny hole in it. Also there is some white thing beside it, but it do not have any cotton thing with it.
Here is a picture(It is not clear)

However, it doesn't look sick. It swim and eat like a heart fish.

I moved it to my hospital fishbowl, and treat some anti-bacterial and QuICK cure. I repeat treatment like that for a week,but it still stay the same.

Until today, it have something different going on with it.
Some of the bloody color turned dark red(Seem like black).

That is all I saw in this few days.
Anyway, do someone know what disease it got?
And how to treat it?

Thank you very much.

can't really see what is that hole. But if you are worried, you always take the entire fish out of the water, swab the hole with a cotton bud dipped in methylene blue. Remember do not let the methylene blue get into the gills. Do this till the hole closes up.


If you can, take a closer pic?

You cannot see the hole at the top. Also, it is too tiny, I cannot even get a clear picture of that hole.

For me, I don't know how to "handle" a fish...it just keep jumping when I try to take it out of the water.
Beside that, is there anyway to heal it without doing that?
Again, thank a lot

just scoop the fish out with a net...put on floor with the fish still inside the net. Be sure that you use a soft net and not the coarse type to reduce the fish injuring.

however, if you are really unsure, then you can use meds for fungus sold in your LFS. Put some rock salt about 2 soupspoon to 100 litres of water.
