AquaRick Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Hello aquarium hobbyists I been into the hobby for about 1 year and a half and still trying to improve. I currently have an issue going on with one of my Glofish that has like a white round fungus looking bacteria on one of his side but I not 100% sure if its fungus. I moved the fish to a 10-gallon quarantine tank and been treating it for about a month or more so far. I been using API Fungus Cure and API Salt with 1 tablespoon per gallon but see no improvement. The fish is active around the tank swimming and it doesn’t seem like a bother to it. I am looking for help because I lost 2 fish to mouth fungus and 1 for having fungus around his body and tail. Any help will be appreciated I attached a photo, Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted November 5, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hard to tell from the photo, but if it is bacteria or fungus, the 1 tablespoon of salt per gallon should fight it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaRick Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hey Cory thanks for the help but now when I woke up this morning I noticed one of his eye is swollen on the same side where the bacteria or fungus is. Now that I looked at it carefully I believed it from the inside of the fish body not the outside like a bump. Should I increase the amount of salt since the current concentration isn't doing any improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannachka Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 if the eye is swollen that tends to happen when the fish starts retaining a lot of fluids. if it’s internal then salt wont treat it. id treat with erythromycin personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
