Fred Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hello, fish with the "disease" is a femal krib, it looks like there is a little patch of raw skin on her head of which white fluffy mould/fungus is growing out of In the same tank is a young black ghost knife, like clown loaches are ghost knifes sensitive to tonics and water treatments? am I best to try move her into an isolated tank? Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I don't know about knifefish sensitivity but I would remove the krib and treat her separately. Cheaper too if you put her in a small treatment tank as you use less meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yeah ive seperated her into her own luxurious 30 litre tank till she gets better. The mouldy thing fell off when i moved her, but theres still a lil patch of exposed skin. So ill wait for that to heal up before moving her back. Thanks.

sharn Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 BGK are touchy towards meds, they are scaleless and it seems them being electric fish also causes some problems with meds for some reason ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmatix Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 dont use meth blue or malchite green treatments on BGK's it can KILL them the best thing you could do is qtine and use melafix i have had good success with this on these sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 thanks, yea she is in quarantine, melafix will now be purchased :lol: have some other thing for infections etc... but it was the cheaper one on the shelf next to melafix, but no time to scimp on costs with her the way she is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
