Green Terror is freaking out

So my Green Terror is rubbing himself up against everything in the tank so much so that he is rubbing his scales off. When he rubs, these little 'strings' and globs of white-ish slimy stuff comes off of him. I cant get a good pic but when I do I will post one. Any idea what it is and what I can do? Its not ich, and I have checked every other fish closely and they all look fine.

sounds like you need to treat the tank. is he the only one doing it?

Yes he is the only one.

Gee you people are really a lot of help!

Give it an aquarium salt bath to begin with.

Whats the water/salt ratio for that?

any updates hows he doing

Haven't seen him he is hiding as usual. He likes his little cave. I am on my way to get a qt tank right now.

50% WC add the salt (non iodized) 1 tsp per 5gal of water. Some fairly benign stress coat may help and it sure wont hurt.

MegaFlex, i love MegaFlex for the wonds
