I first noticed Whie I had barebottom but thought it was just another ray biting them so added substrate to occupy them. I am going to pay for it now...dam acrylic tank with tiny openings. Thanks for the help guys, hopefully I got it soon enough. Won't be able to get meds soon where I live will that be a problem? Does the disk repai itself eventually or will it stay this way.

The first pic you can clearly tell that it is rot. I have had this with many motoro imports. They pull through if you do what mike suggests. I didn't go as high as 90, more like 86, and daily 50% w/c's. and used Melafix. The first sign of winning that I notice is the whiteness subsides and the disc edge starts to reform/scar over.

Is the underside slough and indication as well?

Can you isolate him?

Allready affected others in the tank so the whole tank will have to be done. I got 4 new imports over the last while and I figure they all had it or one affected the others.
