Mouth Fungus on Rasbora Hets!! What can we do?

rudy302 · 02-21-2005, 06:33 PM

Hi all,

Please help me help my Hets. We've tried a couple of things that helped a little but, didn't make it go away. We've tried Fungus Clear (by jungl), Anti-Fungus (by Aquarium Products), and the last thing we tried is Melafix (by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals). This isn't helping at all. At least the other two made the fungus shrink down a little bit. Any suggestions? I'm all ears. Thank you for your time. It is very much appreciated Take care all!!

How long did you treat the fish for with each medicine?

Its best to stick to one medicine and not mix them... usually you need to repeat the treatment for a couple of days or until it clears up.

Try Maroxy by Mardel- follow the directions.

We tried each med. for 1-2 weeks. With adequate cleaning of the tank each week. This is a ten gallon tank that has the 5 hets,2 painted tetras,1serpae tetra,3 albino corys,1 algae eater, and 2 clown loaches. It's strange because only three of the hets have it and that's all. The others aren't affected by it. Which I'm very thankful for but, I just don't know what else to do. I'll look for the maroxy stuff thanks! We clean the tank and give it a 25% water change every week. Whenever we put medicine in we do a water change also. Thank you for all your responses. Their always quick. That's why I love this forum.
