abie Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Hi, can anyone help? I got a couple of new fish. The angle fish looks' like they had some type of bacterial infection fin some fin rot. I am dosing with maracryn, and I'm on day five. Put salt and heat on 82 now, and my geophages got this fuzzy stuff on TOP of an eye. Is this fungus of a parasite?

Colu Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Frist what are your water parameters how long have you had the fish before they started showing symptoms and does the the white patch have a fuzzy appearance Edited February 2, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 What I would do is finish the course of maracyn add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties to help speed up the healing process you could treat with ick x for a couple of days as it treats fungal infections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abie Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 i circled the spot can i do ick x and paraclease together? can i dose right after i finish with maracyn or should i do water change and wait a couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 You can but meds can be stressful of your fish I would treat with ick x Frist if you have had signs of parasites such as flashing rapid breathing white stringy poop then I would treat with paracleanse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I would gradually lower it over a couple of days so you don't stress your out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
