Is this Lympho???

[roggy23]

I gotta admit i didnt have prestine water conditions so my dottyback in hypo obtained this... please help with suggestions?

 

[roggy23]

hes not eating and i am referring to that cottony wart like appearance growing on the side of his face.

I can't really tell what that is. Can you get a closer shot? What are your water readings.

 

[roggy23]

let me try

 

[roggy23]

parameters are all normal, SG 1.008 today
that fungus has been on him for over a week started small then grew and now it seems like its slowly peeling off but still pretty big

Begin a treatment with Maracyn Two. Its hard to tell what that is. Post your water readings.
Are you using a refractometer? If so, raise the SG to 1.009.

i dont have any water for a water change before dosing with maracyn 2.. shoul di treat anyway or do a water change first and if so how much for my 20 gal?

 

[beth]

What are your water readings and why do you have the SG at 1.008? That is stressful for fish. Do you have a refract?

 

[roggy23]

yes my readings are fine at 1.009

NO post your water readings.... Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, PH, etc...

Unless you are doing hypo, why is your SG at 1.009?

 

[roggy23]

ive been doing hypo for almost 3 weeks now for new arrival and in between that time he got this crazy fungus and its getting bigger...:help:

 

[roggy23]

my readings are all 0 and ph is 8.3

 

[beth]

Are you going to do the M2 treatment?

 

[roggy23]

im wondering if i should do water changes before or after i dose and how many gallons for my 20 gal QT???
