disgustipated Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 he has developed white cloudy blotches all over. can i treat him in "wunder tonic" aka meth blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 It would help if you could work out the reason for the patchiness before you start adding meds of any kind. Does it look as if it is an over-production of the slime coat? If so, that could indicate a parasite or something irritating the body, perhaps poor or incorrect water conditions?

disgustipated Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 thanks caryl. water conditions haven't been so good as i've been away and trusted someone else to look after it - unfortunately they didn't do what they were supposed to. i've freshened the water over the last week but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. it looks like a fungus or something? i added slime coat aka prime. is it ok to treat scale-less fish in meth blue?

disgustipated Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 done a 25% water change daily since posting this, also used "prime" now he's looking black as and sweet as ever. these fish really are quite sensitive to water conditions!!
