    Hi all i'm quite worried about 2 of my cardinal tetras which have white patches on them. The thing is, other than the white patches they are fine, with good appetite and all that. I thought it was fungus and used salt treatment but things didn't really improve after 2 weeks. Consolation is things didn't get worse either.

    Sorry just to add on the white patches as shown in the pic can be seen at the lower half of the body and near its tail. Doesn't look that bad in the pic but it's more prominent really. Me just a beginner in digital cam so pardon the quality, it was the best i could do (darn fish never seem to hold still for a pic)

    This is a hook worm or some sort. For my case, it attaches to mostly cardinal tetra only. And it can be quite fatal. I lost about 30 out 50 2 yrs back. So good luck. Seems there is no cure.
