I have been plagued with fungus for too long now. Just when it seems to be clearing, it flares up again. Salt baths help, (I've been doing them once a day for 2 weeks or so) but by the time the next time for the bath comes, they have it again. Sometimes it even appears gone, but if I skip a bath, it is back full fury.
I read the health page, and was only able to find Nitrofura-G at the stores. I put it in the water using the manufacturers doses as the health page advises. THEY HATE IT! Luna has his tail poking streight up, and all three have to go for air constantly. I tripled the amount of air in the tank, but am concerned with too much flow.
Today when I checked (12 hours after treatment began), their gill "feathers" have turned white. They may be light, light blue, hard to say with the blue water, but it is quite disturbing to me, and I cannot tell what potential damage it may have done to the fungus/bacteria, because the tank is so blue.
Is this a normal side effect when using this treatment?
Does it hurt their gills, or does it mean the gills had bad bacteria on them?
Do I still give salt baths?
Should I stop treatment and go back to baths alone, maybe twice a day instead?
I don't know what to do!
