Austrofundulus transilis "Guarico" disease

[Cynolebio]

Any help about this disease?

Melanoma?

[Cynolebio]

I think is a bacterial disease. I suspect about Aureomonas higrophila.

Remote diagnosis is free and often worth every penny, but I would vote for melanosarcoma.

See the pic on p17 of Untergasser (Handbook of Fish Diseases, TFH), for example.

Austrolebias is used a lot in research so if this is indeed a melamona, and this is genetic you may have a very valuable fish here as cancer research is drawing ever closer to aging/development research which is what Austrolebias is used for.

Please spawn that fish! And keep track of the off spring.

Keep well

I will start a cloramphenicol treatment. Any suggestion about dossage?

I'll star with 50 ppm. All right?

[Cynolebio]

After 10 days treating with cloramphenicol, the female dies. That confirm was a sarcomelanoma. The Aureomonas was an opportunist.

Afortunatelly a lot of eggs are stored.
