Would you say it has improved? The tufts seem smaller.
No, if anything it is more dense than when I first started treatment.

I think I am finally seeing some improvement. I have been dabbing meth blue directly onto the fuzz. I think it's getting smaller.

I think it's improving. I did a manual removal of the fungus a few days or so ago. Doesn't seem to be coming backPXL_20220623_014800248.jpgPXL_20220623_014657044.jpg

Not sure what to do with this guy. Moved him from the 10g to the 220g since it is constantly water changing hoping the larger tank will help.9187F0DC-96F2-417F-9B7D-131A0CD03D5F.jpeg

Well, the fungus came back with a vengeance. I was able to source some Fritz maracyn and maracyn 2. I did the 5 day course of maracyn and then started the M2. Unfortunately, it was not enough. The fuzz had started to spread to the edges of the scales along the body.

Did you lose the fish?
If not, use betadine gel as topical treatment.

I hope you did not lose it, although one of the earlier posts did suggest you had to put it down. Sorry for the loss.
