newfisher Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi there my neon has a white spoton his mouth. Colour seems ok, still schooling with the others. How do I know if this is cotton mouth or neon disease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 This is sounding more like a fungus, think it is actually called Cotton Wool Fungus Neon Diease is completely different, your Neon will start to lose it's colour if it gets this diease, can be very contagious to other Neon's from what I have read. Need to treat the Cotton Wool Fungus with something like Wonder Tonic, available from your Pet Shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 It is possible it is a secondary infection on a small wound. It is also possible, if you keep the water as clean as you can, that it will get better without drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 thnaks none of the others seem to have it. I only noticed when transferred into our new tank last night. I will try to remove him into another tank as I don't want to loose all my fish. Would it help to put some salt in the tank? Lots of talk of salt would this be ok for my clowns?
