I’ll start with TLDR:
-Can I use an anti fungal treatment with a currently mouth brooding female, and clown loaches and a pleco?
-Can I also use salt with these species to enhance treatment?
-Should I just improve water quality and see if the small amount of fungus on one fish goes away?
-Should I ONLY use salt?
Explanation:
I have one Malawi cichlid who is a bit unhappy lately. I have neglected my water changes for the last 10 days due to illness, plus there is a really dominant peacock who is bullying him (and others). He is now showing a small spot of fungus on his dorsal. I put this down to the bad water quality and the harassment from the dominant peacock. The problem is, I have a female who is holding and I don’t know how an anti fungal tx would affect her? I also have clown loach and a pleco. Should I improve water quality and hope he improves, or should I treat? Should I also add salt?
Thank you.
