[Princley]

ash try this stuff either melafix or pimafix get the right one for mouth mungus.. it's a newer Med and i hear it's really good

 

[Ash]

I tried those already and it didnt work out well. I got suggestion about salt and heating the water up to 80 degrees so I am gonna try that now. I ve been doing mela and prima on that tank for awhile though b/c of the other fish that the JD might be somewhat immune to it. I didnt have anywhere else to put the JD, he is in a seprate 10gal now though. So I see how it works out.

Thats a fungus. Forget Mela and Pima, they are crap IMO. I used Jungle Fungus Clear on my LMB when he had Mouth Fungus, and in addition Maracyn to treat secondary infections. Worked great.

Read this after the other thread, I would go with the salt at the same level as for ich (2 tsp/gallon) for a 3 days and if that doesn't do it you will need some antibiotics, the "fungus" is actually a bacterial infection and any antibiotic that is active against gram negative bacteria will work but it will probably kill the bacteria in you filter as well so you might want to bypass it and rely on water changes during treatment.

I believe Fungus Clear has an antibiotic as well. I always go with Maracyn too, it always seems to work for a wide variety of ailments.

 

[guppy]

Fungus clear, fungus guard, rid-all, all contain both fungicides and antibiotics so clear both the mouth fungus (bacterial) and body fungus (true fungus)

 

[ewurm]

Yep. I recommend Fungus Clear, it has worked for me.
