Squirt Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I have isolated the fish in a container with a lid in the tank in tank water. I will get a pic up soon, kind of looks like a white strip of gunk. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diver21 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 look into the disease 'Velvet' on google and see if thats similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Could be, I have pure sea salt, can I treat it with this, and should I treat the whole tank, only a turtle(red eared slider) and danios in the tank, and in what ratio?

Squirt Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Have raised the temperature, I think treating the whole tank would be a good idea? It says it is highly contagious. Will go out to the pet shop to see what they have. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirt Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Any one? When should I do a water change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Looks like columnaris. Treat with an antibiotic such as Tri sulpha if you want to pay for a prescription or Furan2 from the petshop if you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Ok, have got dad to bring back some furan 2 like antibiotics from work. Thanks :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
