Ok so you may have read my previous topics on what originally we thought was white spot on my angelfish.
Then some of the neons developed a mouth fungus, and the angels spots started to look fluffy rather than salt like. So I changed the treatment to myxazin to treat for fungus.

It's a 5 day treatment, and is supposed to be very good at curing it, according to you on here, and the lfs. But the treatment finished today and the fungus is still the same! It seems that one spot on the angel is gone, but the fluff around his top fin is still the same.

I have since managed to get some pimafix off ebay, as none of the shops sold it, and was thinking of trying this after the myxazin.

What else can I do? It just doesn't seem to want to shift. Can I continue using myxazin, or should I try the pimafix? I assume I'll have to do water changes before starting the new treatment.

All the fish seem healthy in themselves, all eating and behaving normally etc, they don't seem bothered by the fungus. They aren't flicking or rubbing or anything either.

Had water tested at the weekend, as was told bad water could stop treatments working, but all is normal.
 
Add the pimafix with the myxazin it needs a boost, good luck, don't forget to increase aeration.

I asked about that in the shop, as I was asking for the 2 meds, they said I shouldn't use the 2 together anyway. So is it ok to use both?

I also thought I read somewhere that the pimafix can be used with melafix?

If I add myxazin and pimafix should I do it for another 5 days, as of tomorrow? Just want to check its safe though!
 
Oh rite yeah its in the same bottle, so I thought they were similar.

Is it ok to carry on for another 5 days without doing a water change? They have myxazin added for the last 5 days with no water change, so will it build up to much? Is it better to do a water change first?
 
So the myxazin course is up then, if so do the water change and run some carbon then add the meds again.
 
Yeah thought that might be the case. How long should I wait before starting again?
 
Just run the black carbon over night and add the meds tomorrow, good luck.
