Hello,

I have a 120L planted tank with some black widow tetras, corries, zebra danios and a pleco. One of the black widow tetras had its fin near the anus rotting and rotted so much that it started bleeding. I went and bought SERA baktopur and treated it and things went better until it was infected with fungus. So I begun treatment with ectopur,costapur and mycopur. The problem is that nothing changes and the poor fish is still infected with fungus. Water conditions are good and I also add SERA fishtamins. Might it be the problem that SERA's products are not strong enough to help out the sittuation? I was never able to treat a disease and now that I am trying as hard as ever its still not working. I dont measure my water parameters. I used to but not now. My tank is fully planted, I do regulat water changes once a week, I use fish vitamins, water dechlorifiers and the fish seem to thrive in these conditions.

Should I treat the fungus first or the bleeding or both?
Should I continue treating the mane tank just to prevent diseases?
What temperature should the quarantine tank be?
Is it too late for the poor fish? Its been nearly a week!
What other suggestions do you have?

PS: I am treating the whole of the tank so that the disease will not spread.

Regards,

John.
 
are the other fish infected yet?
if its this one little guy and youve tried all you can and it looks worse, id consider putting the fish to sleep, esp if its being picked on or not eating, you could try one last time with the fungus treatment, only you know how much this guy can take, i keep my hospital tank at 24deg
 
Here are the pics of two fish. The white one has the fungus and the other one has somekind of problem on its upper jaw.

I have placed both fish in a quarintine tank in the dark.
 
The fish are in a bad way they have septicemia very hard to cure once it progressed.
Can you issolate the fish and try an antibiotic like tetracycline.
I would get your water tested.
