SD with some sort of fungal infection

[fishman256]

Hello,

One of my sd has developed what I think is a fungal infection. Please can anyone identify what it could be? The other two sd's are health and eating well.

If you leave him in the tank with the others they will all catch it. It could be cotton-wool disease... Not 100% I'm just guessing.

Thank you for the responce. I hove no other tank available, would it be less stressful to treak the tank as a whole, rather than stressing him/her by being moved?

I think it is fungus. http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/treat6.htm

I've read that you don't want the tank warm because it helps the fungus grow. What about some Malachite green? Or an antibacterial med?

I am going to a lfs this morning with pics to get a treatment.
