SpidersWeb Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Nope, not contagious. Will usually heal up unassisted if conditions improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I have read conflicting information... Thoughts that it is and isn't... I think possibly that it isn't... I have looked heaps into the HITH case more and more lately as I purchased a pair of Jurupari that had the startings of HITH... they are currently having a second treatment with Metro. And also I am adding some to food to dose them internally. http://www.nationalfishpharm.com/articles/hexamita.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I don't really know if it is or not. No one can really tell you exactly what the disease is in the first place. Chances are if a fish has broken out then the rest may get the disease to as this disease is associated with stress, poor water quality, malnutrition. In most cases the fish have a depressed immune system. Keep an eye on your other fish. The disease is first recognised by an eroded{gaps in the} lateral line. This lateral line contains several sensory organs, runs along the fishes body. If a fish has the disease, look at what could be wrong with the tank.
