Does anyone have any idea what is going on with my Sailfin? His anus is swollen and red. I attached pics. She wasn't sitting to still for a photo shoot so here is the best I got. She is still eating.

Do you have any Nitrofurican green powder on hand? Would be the course of treatment if one is needed.

I have atteched two new pics to original post. I do not have the powder you have mentioned. First I heard of it. I do have a QT tank set up and will get what ever is needed for treatment.

Go to National Fish Pharmaceuticals website. You'll find the product there.
