Black Skirt Tetras with White Fungus

Recommended Posts

Water temp 75 degrees.  Ammonia 0.

All other parameters I've posted a pic along with the API ph result.  

20 long (set up about 8 months) with cory catfish, khuli loaches, bumblebee gobies, black skirt tetras and mystery snails and a lot of bladder snails.  Heavily planted.  I've had the black skirts about 4 months.  

I noticed the white fungus two days ago.  I've ordered the quarantine trio meds from Aquarium Co OP.  

Does any one know exactly what my fish have and how to treat?  I've tried to google and have come up empty handed.  I don't think its ick and two black skirts currently have it.  

Thanks in advance for the help 😊

Ich looks like a sprinkling of salt on the fins and body rarely on the eyes doesn't look like ich  to me possible fungal infection epistylis can sometimes look like this when it  form's a colony's and sometimes look like a fungal infections epistylis feeds off gram negative bacteria on the slime coat of your fish and spreads more quickly at higher temperatures the best treatment is a combination of maracyn2 in food feeding a small amount twice a day for 7 days and ick x or salt if you can I would quarantine and treat them on their own what I would do is treat with ick X and a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons if you seeing no improvement after a couple of days then I would do a course of maracyn2 in food and Keep treating with ick X
