Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type. Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph. Translucent fins are finrot but mainly caused by bad water quality. You will need a bacterial med but not familar with meds in singapore. |

Keep doing water changes with having a ammonia readings.
Ok not sure on the med you said does it treat anything else besides fungus. For finrot you need bacterial med and on the bottle it should say treats finrot. This post has been edited by Wilder: Jul 9 2008, 11:13 AM |

No need to do baths if the meds in the tank it will just stress the fish more.
I would give it time for the med to work. Good luck. |
