scat fungus?

arthurdent · 10-30-2005, 09:18 AM

my scat has some white growths (definately not ich) on his caudal and anal fin.
He's eating great and is very active.The only two deductions i have made is that its either a fungus or lymphocystis.I do beleive its the former has anyone run into this problem before?I ve tested the water and ammonia and nitrites are
very very low if not 0ppm.The SG is 1.011-1.012.Hes just a baby around two inches.The dealer i got him from gave me some marcyn(sp?)two tablets to be issued 2 days consecutively (4 tabs total).The marycyn doesnt seem to have
helped .Any ideas?

Upping the salt could help.

Im definately starting look to meds ,which i consider a last resort,but this seems persistent.Anyone have an opinion on Jungles fungus eliminator?Ive used it on a betta before with success , but im afraid i'll crash the cycle ,anyone aware if this product is safe for this animal and setup?really need some advice.

I am amazed at this pimafix stuff woke up today and 50% of the fungus is already gone
after two days.

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
