    Hi Everyone,
    Firstly, Happy Lunar New Year to all my fellow Chinese friends out there. Have a blessed and prosperous year ahead!!

    Now down to business...
    HELP!!!!
    There is some translucent white slime growing on my fish...
    Have no idea how it got there (spotted some of the stuff growing on the diffuser of my CO2, its the JBL yeast[i think] kind)
    How do I cure/remove it from my fish... Its obviously suffering... swimming upside down or leaning to the side where the slime is growning (right side).
    Seeking advice urgently (ie. before the little fella dies..)
    HELP!!!!

    hiyah ...

    since no reply ... why don't I give it a try ....

    I would recommend change of water plus use of salt. you might wannt think of taking the fella out ... but if it's really stressed can try scoop him out in a container and use that to transfer instead of using a net. could look at raising temperature to 32 degrees too ... what fish is it? better check out what fish it is first.

    if you're looking at a sheet of white covering the fish ... right?
