    cheeseng, i can tell u there's something wrong with your water
    if not you won't have so many things appearing out of the blue
    i suggest u do a lot of small water changes

    at the same time, dose some salt (about 1tbsp per 20l) to take out the fungus
    i don't suggest using meds for this purpose

    but the underlying problem is your water

    Anyway since u have taken out the fish...
    do frequent water change to remove residual fungus..
    add some anti-fungus below the recommended dosage to try
    eg. interpet anti-fungus..but dont add straight into tank

    Hi all,

    Some had said that you can add salt to the water.
    I had tried but dun know how effective it can be.
    Right now, I am using salt + Anti-fungus medication but it has been a few days already and yet I have seen any improvement to my fish.

    Right now, I am using the Ocean-free fungus treatment.
    How long does it take to get the fish heal?

    Thanks.

    Before buying the fish, what was their condition? and also how did you care for them? There are such a huge variety of fungus infection, and different infection needs different remedy.

    I am new... kaisu also... bought all the Oceanfree T1,2,3 & 4 product... I use them everyday... as said on the bottle the prevention usage which to use everyday for fifteen days....

    I think you can use a bit more on the the Ocean-free fungus treatment (T2)... and add salt too... continue to use even the fish is cured.....

    prevention is better than cure...

    I think just like what the rest has said do small water change daily like (10%), change until the condition improves. You need to identify why your water conditions are bad and get to the root of the problem.
