Recognizing, diagnosing and treating bacterial infections is not an easy, straight forward task. Bacterial infections may affect internal organs, external organs or both and more than one pathogenic organism can cause similar symptoms. Bacterial infections can stem from many causes, even combinations of contributing causes, and result in potentially fatal diseases. Fortunately, most bacterial infections in fish are manageable if caught and treated early enough.
Symptoms include but not limited to:
Rapid breathing.
Reddened and frayed fins, or red streaks through the fins.
Disintegration of the fins (fin and tail rot).
Redness, streaks or blotches along the lateral line.
Open sores on the body and near the fins.
Bloody scales at the base of the fins.
A gray film over the eyes and/or body.
Loss of appetite.
Listlessness or lethargy.
Abdominal swelling or bloating
loss of slimecoat

Sera is as good as anything I never heard of it before in the States we have acess to a huge number
of medication

ok thanks Anne, your help here is priceless :)
I read more about this medication i got and it should be the right one against the symtoms, which are:
-Reddened and frayed fins, or red streaks through the fins.
-Open sores on the body and near the fins.
-Bloody scales at the base of the fins.
+ he seems a bit too swollen around the anal fin.

He is upside-down & motionless but is breathing so i still have some hope.
Since this is the third poly that has gotten sick in my tank i was wondering if i should treat the 200G tank just in case?
Two palmas polli died a few months ago, here is the thread:

I have fish in the 200G for over 1000$ and im a bit worried about medicating the whole tank if the meds turn out to do more damage than good... but than again, i dont want to loose more fish. :confused:
