WHITE AROUND MOUTH

[BK]

i have a dwarf Gromi that has white around it's mouth that appeared over night. I've read somewhere else on here that mouthfungus? can be treated with Malkon. I don't have any of this but heap's of curex and malafix. I'm going to get some aquaflavine this afternoon and I will mot likely have to get some Malkon as well now. It seems like I'm becoming a bit of a chemist. Interesting to read that cat worm pills will work to treat intestinal parasite. Can I use this on my comunity tank as I have Angles and Pleco that have this problem and all else has failed. In the tank are tetars, red tail shark, guppies danios, kuli's. My partners is telling me that I have to slow down/stop getting more tanks. I have 5 now and I'm cleaning the sleepout up so I can start breeding (the fish) as there's no room inside and now I don't have a tank for sick fish.

Is the mouth white, or are there white tuffs of fluff growing on the mouth.

If its the first one, gouramis are prone to getting Columnaris, usually starts of with white lips. Its a bacterial infection.

Thanks for the reply. My partner came home with Furne 2 (turns water Green) which is for the treatment of cotton mouth and others. Could use Aquafline or Malkon I'm told so have fully stocked chemist at home now. What a great site your link was. Discus sites have so much info, if they could only give a break down of the strains ie pigeon blood, snake head etc etc etc. Just to many names, didn't stop me from getting 9 the other day. Cobalt, Red turqu and Red eagle. The reb eagle are tops with the best colour and shape.
