My Kenyi is Sick

[noreaster]

Yester day I noticed a spot on my kenyi where his scales looked a little "ruffled" I thought maby he had just scraped himself hard on a rock of something like that.

Today i just noticed it has turned into a big white spot.

Pictures posted.

I turned up the heat to 80 nad added salt but not sure what else to do ?

can any one offer some advice.

Exactly what dane said. The salt with the higher temp. inits self should take care of that though. I had it b4 with one of my africans and salt with a 80-82degree temp got rid of it within 2days =) also added a little melafix on the first day..

When a fish has some scales dislodged it makes it easy for fungi to set in. I believe the white wolly stuff is caused by a fungus, therefore some medication to treat fungi infections should do the trick. I assume that that is what Melafix will do?

Actually, no. Primafix is the one that treats fungus.
