Bacteria affecting new rays

i just saw the pictures of the waxy white lumps on the underside of the rays disc. and to me they look very similar to carp pox. a herpes virus which is unfortunately untreatable. it is probably occuring due to stress and is separate from the bacterial infection causing the disc rot. here is a link to a page on carp pox. Optimal water conditions and time may clear it up.

Everything is going good with the 3 xingu rays that are left. To this day I'm still not sure what it was or what cured it for sure. I just know stress brought it on and it spread very quickly.
Ive killed rays with may things, furan is one of them. I have not used any medication for years except an annual anti parasite dose to keep internal parasites in check.
Good clean water seem to be the best solution. Plus safe live food to boost their health.

When I look back at this thread there is so many things I would have done different and was still very new at this, my inexperience was probably the cause of most the problems. The furan/furan2 is not a safe ray med I would also agree with.lincolngoh;5004080; said:
I now treat all medication as ray unsafe unless proven otherwise. I had a serious case of the dumb when I first started some time back without the benefit of the information available now. I tried new things and failed, but thats how I learned, by pushing a few rays over the edge. I've even killed a ray by trying to treat it for internal parasites with garlic extract like a dog. =P Luckily I'm done with that now.
The one that passed the hook lived but unfortunatly one of the 4 xingu died and this was by my inexperience at the time that caused this. I panicked and thought the worse and started treating for the worse causing lots of other problems. I've learned my lesson but am still learning.cheon;5004554; said:
