Hi everyone just wondering if you could help me please?
My ram as developed about 3 weeks ago what appears to be a fugus infection. This started as a small cotton like patch near his eye which has now began growing behide his eye which is popping our alarmly far now.

I am unsure how to proceed with treatment as i have used Melaphix (full week) no improvement. I have used Esha 2000 for fungus and bacteria treatment (no improvement) used 2 courses. The pet shop have now suggested salt after showing pics to them but reading on the net salt wont heal fungual infections?

Can you suggest what to do, I have attached a photo which shows the poor fishes eye.

Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nirate 40ppm
Other fish in tank, gourmais, tetras, guppies, harlquines other ram

Appreciate your time

Hi

Nobody got any suggestions? I have added the recomended amount of salt yesterday and still no improvement, totally stuck on how to save this guy...
 
That looks like what is going on with mine! I can't figure it out either. Its on a male guppy. I have a post about it titled sick fish, there is a video there if you want to see what mine looks like. Right now I am using Pimafix, but also waiting for more help because I am sssosoooo unsure of what it even is.

I know the bottle of Pimafix says to remove the carbon... but wont that make my tank REALLY dirty? That is my filter...

If it's cottonmout, it's not a fungus. It's bacterial and you might want to try something stronger like maracyn and maracyn2.
