HelplessNewbie Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Discovered this panda guppy female with white fluffy protrusion on the left part of her mouth. @Colu, can you watch the video? Put her in quarantine and started Jungle Fungus Clear and Maracyn. Is there more I should do in qt? I feel like I should add kanamycin. Should I proactively dose the display tank with something like ich-x and maracyn/kanamycin/maracyn 2? Will have to remove shrimp, won't I? Other details: Tank is 1 month 10 days old. After we discovered the sick guppy, my daughter performed 50% water change in the 10g display tank, though water was tested within acceptable ranges 2 days ago. Nitrates were 40ppm because we had dosed Easy Green. The 3 panda guppies moved into the display tank 3 weeks ago. Five younger guppies and 1 cherry shrimp were in there 4 days before the pandas. So, total of 8 adult-sized guppy. An additional amano shrimp was added 10 days ago. The most recent addition was a 25 day old panda guppy fry. Some 20 guppy fry (likely from panda guppies) were born a week ago.

Colu Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) What I would do is treat ick X and do salt baths 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes for 5 days mouth fungus can kill very quickly so start treatment straight away @HelplessNewbie Edited September 24, 2023 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelplessNewbie Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 Thank you @Colu. Looks like the fungus disappeared already, even before I soaked her in aquarium salt. She isn't eating (didn't go for the live daphnia) and is still swimming head up in quarantine. I will continue ich-x and aquarium salt bath, though.

HelplessNewbie Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 She is eating now. Still keeping her in quarantine, though. This is a good sign for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
