Colu Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Cotton like growth on your fish is tail is caused by a fungal infection I would quarantine if you can and treat with ick x and 1 table spoon for 2 gallons of aquarium salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) As your in Canada I would treat with Aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 1 gallon and primafix salt at that level will harm your plants I would quarantine and treat if you can't if you don't have a quarantine tank I would do salt baths 1 table for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes for 3 days if you notice any signs of destress remove from the salt bath straight away Edited August 27, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikv6 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Is the tank cycled. I noticed 0 nitrates, indicating a tank that may not have completed its cycle. (Or it may just be heavily planted.) A bump in the cycle can cause stress and potential infections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
