Hello there everyone.
My baby axy has sudenly got some sort of skin infection, he was fine yesterday when i cleaned him out and today he has white fuzz round his gills ad mouth, i have put him in a salt bath for ten mininits and i have placed him in a small plastic tank with no filter and clean water. I dont understand where the infection has come from i clean out the tank every week and change about 80% of the water and the tank is filtered i have a spray bar so there isnt much flow in the tank. As he is still small i am feeding him daphnia could the desease/infection hae come from the food, i never put the water from the daphina in the tank i always poor them into a net and rince with water.
has any one any advice on what the infection is and how to treat it. Also i have had hin for at least three months and he doesnt seem to have grown much even tho he is in a tank on his own so he doesnt have to compete for food, he isnt thin hes a little chubby if anything. all my other axys have grown much quicker.
help and advice please

the infection looks like the white fluffy mold that yoiu get on fruit.
