Jerry, mt female GT got mauled pretty bad, I moved to hosp. tank and treated with melafix and now it looks like she has cotton all over her sores. Is this normal in the healing process. Hubby has the cam or I woulda posted pic
no carrie she was near death actually, I started her on melafix already(on day 2). and she is actually moving around now instead of lying on the bottom
I just had a 55 gallon tank with a HUGE outbreak of cotton wool disease and fin rot. I used both Melafix (anitbiotic) and Primafix (antifungal) together in the tank along with increasing the salt and also using Doxycycline in the filter. I treated for 7 days and lost a total of 7 fish, but the rest survived. The sore on this one should probably be treated with both antibacterial and antifungal as well since most fish will get a secondary infection once one is going on. Hope this helps, I know how bad it sucks when one of your fish are sick.
Wow.. I hear they do get big, don't think I have ever seen one that large i
