I have a white fungus growing on my pothos plant which is growing out of my aquarium. I need a remedy tropical fish safe. Any suggestions?
-
Came across some German Blue Rams that are locally bred for sale. My question is being locally bred think these might carry the same issues as imported? Gold Rams were a bitch with some fungus growing on them I culled 12 out of 16. Don’t want to go down that road again… personal opinions welcomed….

Gold Ram update. API Pimafix seems to be the ticket. These guys are 95% better. After the final dose/day they were only somewhat better I let them soak in the water for a couple days, still not much better, but after a water change and a couple days later they look much better! However I found polyguard and it is currently in route so I may hit them with that to see if it can wrap this up Afterwards I’ll then give them a couple weeks to see if the fungus returns. Should probably give them another round of pimafix but polyguard was already ordered. And I have a small fortune tied up in meds. Soooo if this ever arises again with someone else suggest trying api pimafix first. Appreciate everyone’s suggestions! Thanks Nerms!

I’ve done the paracleanse. I will try the api fungus as the polyguard seems to be unavailable I’ll respond back here in a few weeks for an update! thanks fishy folks

I’ve seen this same fungus on gold Rams in pet stores as well as videos people publish on you tube.
-
Some spots are smaller but mainly on fins
-
Here’s an update....... nothing works, lol. Tried the quarantine trio of meds, Maracyn two, saltwater and Kanaplex. Rams all act normal and very active, eat well. Any other suggestions before I cull?

10-4, thanks!

Good idea, I’ll do that

Good deal, I’ll do that.

Yep I feed mostly Repashy. But I too have some boisterous eaters I call my sharks in longfin zebra, leopard danios and Orange van rio tetras. I have nerites so no snail problems. I saw online they’ll do blanched kale, spinach etc. Maybe zucchini? I need something in there that will last long enough for them to get to it. My Kuhli loaches generally take care of anything left over at night.
-
Yes I saw the video. But don’t recall them eating vegetables. What I’ve read online is blanched spinach, kale, etc. and that they were diurnal. Just wanted someone to confirm.
-
Are Hillstream’s active at night? Trying to make sure these guys eat enough. Also Will they feed on vegetables?
-
Mmiller , thanks for the info if the salt doesn’t work I’ll try your method.
-
I’ll try salt. Started watching Cory’s video for dosages. Thanks Dwayne

I did a week. Using directions on bottle. If anything in the two weeks I’ve used ick x and Maracyn this spot has gotten bigger.
-
Neither Ick X or Maracyn has worked. I agree 100% with you, bad genes. But looks like something would cure this.... I hate to cull this batch out as well. If it is indeed the genes would this be contagious to other fish?
-
Water parameters all good. Been doing frequent water changes. This is my second round with Gold Rams, first batch had fungus ended up culling them. This batch a couple have this white spot on fins or tails, this one is by far the worst in this batch. Varys with One spot or maybe up to three much smaller spots. I’ve Ich X them, currently using Maracyn on them in another day or two I’ll paraguard them. Had these Rams about 2 weeks. These fish must be acceptable to disease?? Everything I read on them is their hardy but couldn’t prove that by me. Anyone have any suggestions? If I cull this batch out I’m going with Appistos.
-
I have a 150 gallon tank. Water is soft 3-5. I want to keep Nerites maybe other snails but the fish I have are in their comfort zone. What can I do to help them survive? If I add a wonder shell or cuttle bone is that going to mess with my water hardness to a point my fish are stressed? I really don’t know how much these items effect the water the fish are in.

What kind of spray paint is safe for use in a aquarium? krylon fusion went from one look of a spray can to another look.... is it the same? plasti dip a rubbery type coating, I’ve seen online could be used? what do you aquarists use?
