I would give him more cover and dim the lights ,do you happen to know the source which the gachua came from? I heard most C.gachua in the Uk are sub tropical but there are tropical variants aswell.

No I don't know im afraid.

No I don't know im afraid.

Again not an expert, however if you just started the salt treatment I would give that a chance first before introducing any chemical treatment. With a little luck it might be all you need. ?

It looks like some extra slimecoat production and not fungus. I’d just increase ur water changes and monitor. If it’s a try sub tropical fish then you’ll need to keep ur temps adjusted. Keep an eye out on behavior.

Thanks bud ill take your words into consideration and I'll find out if its sub tropical. I'll try the lightly salty water anyway as I heard it won't harm the fish.

Hi guys an update for my channa gachua. Today I noticed he is rapidly rubbing his body against the gravel. I have started adding salt to the tank but only yesterday. Is there anything else I can do to help the poor guy?

Are there any visible white spots on his body? And temperature?

Temperature is at 26 c and no white spots. Just the patches

How's it doing now?

Its behaviour seems normal, he eats quite aggressively and hasn't denied any food yet. The white patches are appearing on the other side of the body. I have added 3 tea spoons of aqualibrium salt (from my lfs) in the last 3 days.
