HELP MY TANK MATES TAPAJOS. HAS A FUNGUS ITHINK I ONLY HAVE AND CAN BUY METHELYN BLUE AND MALACHITE GREEN AND I ALSO BUY ONE MEDICATION FOR FISH THAT CURES ALL PARASITE NAME IS PARASITE AWAY PLS NEED ADVICE FORM YOU ALL WHAT TO DO SORRI FOR MY LETTER MY COMPUTER IS HAVING A PROBLEM RIGHT NOW THANKS HOPE TO HEAR AS SOON AS POSIBLE

both met blue and green can be used to treat fungus but is not a perfect treatment as it will damage the filter cycle and dye the silicon on your tank.that said both are very effective treatments for fungus. you may want to consider bath dips twice a day using the met blue? or use a spare tank(hospital tank)so not to damage your filter cycle etc.

most fungus are caused by poor water conditions, i would advise you test your water asap as there is no point treating a fish and then returning it to a poor tank condition. post test results please.

I have checked to make sure both meds you have are ok with the fish concerned and as far as I can find, the treatment is fine with the fish.

x2 on the testresults.
Those will help us help you.

kabayan.. most hobbyist in the philippines doesn't give a damn
about good bacteria or beneficial bacteria and they normally
wash the filter at the tap....that is why only few hobbyist stick to
this addicting hobby... yes... i agree... fungus is normally
associated with bad water condition... can you give us the data on:
ammonia? nitrite? nitrate? and pH?

you do need those test results to make sure your water is good

As for the bacteria, any anti bacterial will do, im in England and i have used myxazin with great results (doesnt kill the good bacterial living in the filter). Remove any carbon in the filter when adding meds( and dont put it back- put more bio media in instead)

i was wrong. i think he is having a fin roth because yesterday i have notice him having like fungus on his pectoral fin and now the top of his pectoral is missing and spreading on the other side.. i am planning to move him to a separate tank as soon as i get home today.. is my other fish ok and wount be affected by it?

okey then...the more we need to see a picture.... rot fin is also
associated with water condition... unless you are sure about it, we
will always suspect about it..

rottin fin can be cured bu met blue.....but i suggest you do it
by douching.... put water tank in a bucket, apply met blue and
put the o in there for 1 hour and then put it back to the main tank.
some pure salt will help the healing but i am not suggesting it yet.

pristine water is the first and foremost defense against any fish
illnesses.... so please check your water...
