I just wanted to check before I started treating with salt baths.
This is the best picture I could get unfortunately, it's the very translucent film between the inner two gills on the left side.
It's not white, like this stuff is often described, it's clear. Looks like a slimey fuzz though. I think I may have noticed this stuff floating in the tank when I am kicking up the tank during spot cleaning or water changes. Could this just be her 'shedding' her slime coat? She's acting normal otherwise, great feeding response as usual.
If it is, should I fridge her as well or could I get by, by treating this just by daily salt baths?
Do I just give the baths until the film is no longer visible or should I be going for be going for a certain length of time?
Thanks everyone.
I think what happened here is that I left a little too much time between water changes, and the water perimeters were no longer ideal, I'm usually on top of that stuff but I got busy with finals unfortunately. Working on a good clean of that tank as we speak.
