It looks like one of my little guys has got fungus forming on his/her gill :( The other seems fine only with rather lack lustre gills again. I'm going away for 10 days shortly and can't really take Hoshi with me, I'm already pushing it taking the hatchlings again :p I'm thinking that the best method is 2x daily salt baths and fridge time and hope it clears up before I go away?

What could have caused the fungus, any ideas? I did a water change today and tested the parameters

Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 20 ppm

I don't currently have a thermometer in their tank as I have one in my 4ft and one in my other 2ft but they are both reading 20.
 
Do salt baths until you leave, and then leave her in the fridge. Do you have someone that can change the water while you're gone?
