What is it ??

PSmithAZ · 09-03-2007, 12:27 PM

I have a Red Serpae Tetra that has something growing on the base of its dorsal and pectoral fins. The tank had Ich at one point and the tetra may have had it. I was thinking along the lines that the Ich may have comprimised the tetras protective coat and that the white substance may be fungus. I treated with PIMAFIX for 7 days and had no results. Any ideas?? I would actually say that whatever this fish has is making it look old....

is the white stuff fuzzy or flat? Could it be a scar? could the fish have been in a fight or caught itself on an ornament?

It looks to be fuzzy but hasn't spread or got any larger.

keep your eye on it. If it starts to spread put the fish in a Q tank and treat.
