Should I start a new regime of medicine 9which I am wary of), or should I just do individual salt dips and hope that helps (how much salt in a salt dip??
As for extra food, when I got the Otos, I put an algae wafer in the tank every other day and realize that was too much and why all the detritus. If you can make sense of this you will be so wonderful, I feel everyone is telling me a different story and I am so confused and worried I have already over and mis-medicated my fish. It is amazing the instinct to do SOMETHING, rather than just watch helplessly, even if our/my actions are worse than the problem!! Very grateful for any reply, Miriam < Your store was partially right about your rainbow. It is an internal bacteria infection and should be treated with Metronidazole. The external fungus is feeding on some damaged tissue from your Oto. The fungus may have been a secondary infection from a earlier bacterial attack. I would recommend treating the Oto with a Nitrofuranace type drug. Be aware that any time you medicate a tank it may affect the good bacteria that break down the fish waste so check for ammonia spike during and after treatm
