Hello this is my first post. I have 1 8" p. Senegalus, 1 14" p. Delhzi, 1 8" electric catfish, 2 18" fw moray eels, 1 10" fw lionfish, trispinos, tons of community catfish and live-bearers. My eels and fw lion stays in 1.008 sg brackish tank with lots of feeder black molies. I have problems with my newcommer eel and lionfish (actually toadfish). Eel has white slime coating on it, probably because of staying in fresh water for a long time. Toadfish has a fungal looking patch on the upper area of one its gills. But it is not white as the fresh water fungus it's in a greenish yellow color. Can anybody advice me some threatment for those problems? Thanks already..
 
Do you have pics of those fish's infection? Use Jungle Fungus Eliminator. If I were you, it is time the salinity must be increased.
 
I dont have pics at the moment. They leave their caves only in total darkness, but if i can take pics i'll post. How much i should increase salinity? The best fungal threatment that i used so far is sera mycopour, but it is a copper based product. As i remember copper my kill brackish water fish but i'm not sure...
 
Increase salinity to 1.016 although best do it gradually by .01-.02 per week.
