pictures please...?
In the meantime... temp up a little bit, and add some salt. NOT TABLE SALT! And do double the water changes than before, but remove the same amount of water.

Uh-Oh,there was someone on here who had these SAME PROBLEMS like 3-4 months ago......same fish,same velvet on its head....are these pikes super-venerable or sumthin'?
See,i knew i wasn't CRAZY!! This was Hadrians Pike (My newly beloved Tapajos is doing really badly. Here are some shots of his eroding head. He is still active and eating well but.... I feel cursed with the pikes. The water conditions are solid. I have treated with Metro and then Mela and Pima fix. He lives in a 125 with a H. Bocourti and an electric blue dempsey. The latter are supposedly pretty sensitive and he's fine and happy. I don't know what I've done wrong.)
my female has been good...(KOW)
buy the big box of aquarium salt, 25% water change ea day. dont knoe meds too good, Peanut or scat know more on that.

ok... since my pimafix hasnt been working i caught her out and introduced salt directly to the infected area.
will things dont improve will repeat again w powdered medication.
after rubbing on the salt the area immediately turned white... i hope tts a sign of the fungus? dying...

just an update...
the infected area now looks clearer...
if its still infected by tmw i will repeat the process again and then after another 24hrs will apply a powdered medication on it.
