Hello all,
Got this poor guy few days ago from a dirty and overcrowded aquarium. He's discolored and full of red spots on his body. Some of the red spots are full with some type of elongated fungus (?)...I put it right away in a cycled 35 gallons quarantine tank. He's not stressed at all, it's swimming all around the tank, no clamp fins, breathing it's ok. He's apetite it's low but it seems that he's still interested in food. Can't figure it out at all what's that white stuff on his head and body at all to start adding a specific medicine. Untill then I started to introduce salt (1 teaspoon/ gallon to 3 teaspoons / gallon in a matter of 2 days).
I looked around and I tend to belive that it's Glosatella -Apiosoma but doesn't have enough example pics. to be sure.
Any advice please? Thanks!
