HELP ASAP!!! Peacock Bass & Stingray

[blacksnow]

I put these 3 peacock bass in on saturday. They started eating the same day they went in, and have been great!

I had a stingray arrive wednesday, and he had some white stringy poop hanging out.

When I came home tonight 2 of my peacock bass look like this

What is it? Should I be concerned? what to do?

please help...does it make sence if the stingray was showing signs of parasites (white stringy poop) that the out-break on the p.bass is something parasite related?

i just wanna know how to treat it

naw... its totally fungus....

Looks like the ray had some of the spores.. and now transfer to your pbass...

Only way to cure these guys is use the matafix stuff... available in petsmart.. and usual.. keep water clean 86 degrees and hope for the best...

It happens with fish.. u pay lots of money for them and then u found out they are sick...

Best of luck...
