Title: What medication?
Post by: Steve on April 12, 2013, 08:34:47 PM

I have a fish that was getting picked on so I moved him to the only tank I could at this time which is basically a grow out tank for my BNP's. It currently has 9 BNP's that are between 1"-2" long, plus a Mbamba Bay that is about 2.5" long. The fish that I just moved to that tank has a spot on his side from being beat up that has some white fluff on it (start of fungus I'm guessing). He seems okay other than that so I want to pick up something to treat him tomorrow morning. What would be a medication I can use for the fungus that would not harm the other smaller fish in the tank?

I would use Pimafix

Not sure if the Pimafix works this fast, or if maybe it's just the fact that he is no longer stressed and getting picked on but after just barely 2 days he is already doing MUCH better. The wound on his side is still "raw" looking but the white fluff that was on it is already completely gone and today he is eating like crazy and even trying to flex his muscles a bit towards the smaller fish in the tank ;D
