Looking for advice on this infection. She was acting lethargic and then this took over quickly, it’s like each of her scales has erupted into fine hairs. I have her quarantined now, I dipped with methylene blue and going to pick up some antifungal meds today. Hard to find exact advice on what might be happening here

I’d try kanamycin or triple sulfa and some api fungal cure.

I sound like a broken record, but also add salt at 1tbsp/gal to break the reproductive cycle of the pathogen. Whatever the water change recommendations are for the medication you use, replace the salt concentration for that volume and keep as such for 2 weeks then let the concentration return to normal with your regular water changes.

I have salt at 1 tbsp/gal now, I will bump it up

 

[danotaylor]

1tbsp/gal is what I recommended. No need to bump it up further
