Attacking True Fungus

Since this is a disease caused by bad water conditions, fix the water! For the affected fish, you can remove the affected fish to a hospital tank to treat separately. You can give your fish an extended salt bath as treatment, but it takes time. Don't be expecting the fungus to disappear immediately or in a short time!

You can also use medication containing Phenoxyethanol if you can find it. For best efect, you can apply the medication onto the infection directly using cotton bud.

Unlike most other diseases, fungus attacks is hard for the fish to recover itself once the infection has gained a foothold. Treat the fish and pay close attention to it!
