hi my ebjd 6 inch got body fungus last week,i treated with tetra fungistop,so the fish has improved,and the fungus has reduced but not all gone,is their any thing else i can do,the water parameters are where they should be,thanks
 
It's difficult for me to see that. Any clearer pics?
 
Has the fish been injured before? It looks like bacterial infection to me rather than fungal. If it seems to improve, keep using the same treatment for at least another week. If it does not improve, remove treatment with carbon and switch to Maracyn and Maracyn 2 combination. Hopefully, you won't have to resort to the antibiotics.
 
i got the fish imported from the uk last month,when they where in the poly box the bags leaked and there was very little water in the bags,i had no choice to let the fish in the box for two hours because i had to drive a 100 miles to collect,there was dirt in the box ect.. so i put the two fish in the tank and they where ok until the next day i seen the ebjd female hiding from the male bgjd,so i put the ebjd in a small tank to rest her,the next day i seen this growth on the fish,so thats where i am now,for some reason you cant get have these meds in ireland,i cant get antibiotics,so all i can get to hand is tetra fungistop,does interpet do a range containing these meds,thanks
 
Eep! I just read your location.:duh: Could you please run me in a list of available antibiotics and their ingredients? I could find a suitable alternative for you. Does Interpet not label ingredients of its chemicals? If not, send them an email about it and ask for inquiries.
