[Finrot & Mouthrot]

[s050399b]

I have 6 Gourami fishes, first they started with finrot. Then I placed them separately and added salt in the water for them.

Now they have mouthrot, I used Finrot+Mouthrot medication and it doesn't seemed to be working? It's been a week.

Please advise.

First and foremost, are they still being placed in the overcrowded tank?

Give them a favourable environment (i.e. no overcrowding) and continue treating them. If they're still subjected to bad water, no amount of medication or salt is going to cure them.

Btw, is that your S'pore IC??

Do you want to see your fish get well? If your answer is yes, this is how you should do it…

1) Go get a btl of Melafix (this is a tea tree extract so it’ll not harm plts or the most delicate of fish)

2) Add 5 ml per 60 L

3) Do 50% water change the next day and repeat Melafix dose.

4) Repeat 2 & 3 for 7 days (don’t worry abt overdose)

You will need at least a 2 ft tank. That’s the min. for 6 gouramis. You can also combine this treatment w 2 teaspoonful of salt at each water change.

Fungus and finrot guaranteed gone if you are diligent enough.
