Faran Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Okay, so fungus is a secondary infection to a bacterial infection usually due to damage, so what should be used for treating this? Already two fish dead - a bala shark and guppy - and these two angels and a betta are looking to be on the way out. 60% water change has been done, along with a dose of meth blue...

Adrienne Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I find that if you can catch the fish and put methylene blue directly onto the fungus it just falls off. As to what the cause of it was in the first place, well if you can work it out you might be able to eliminate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayci Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I had fungue like that a few weeks ago. I ended up doing a strip/clean and sterileing the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I used to dab a mixture onto the wound. Hold it out of the water as long as it can take and when you put it back the meds will stay in the tank and help. Use methylene blue 1%, malachite green 1 or 2% and acraflavine. The first two treat the fungus and the 2nd 2 the bacteria that probably started it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
