so ive been battling mouthrot lately, and yes i have read the stickies about it.
heres what ive done-
turned down temp to 74-76
added salt at 1tbs per 5g of water
treated tank for 2 weeks with jungle fungus tabs, mouth rot almost was completely gone, so i stopped treatment thinking i had beat it and it was on its way out. this was last week.

now the mouth rot is back, should i use the same meds or try something different, say maracyn, and continue treatement for a week after all signs are gone to make shure i beat it?

i used the jungle tabs because the box says it treats mouth rot(its also a bacterial med, mouth rot is a bacteria) and i can treat my 180 for $6 a week, no other med i can buy locally is that cheap. it was working good, i think i just should have continued treatement longer.
 
I have been battling this for over 2 weeks now. I started with pima/melafix and then tried marcyin. I treated for 2 weeks with maracyn now and it hasn't done a single thing for my fish. I now started with fungus clear by jungle. I am not sure if it is helping or not, as it is too soon to tell.

Make sure you do water changes frequently and add salt. That seems to have saved some of my fish. I tried getting help on this forum twice for this, but no one will respond.
