Aquarium Salt With Tetras? Help!

[Fishywishy333]

Some of my rummynose tetras have cotton mouth. Can I use aquarium salt to help treat it? Help ASAP

Yes you can use aquarium salt with rummynose tetra, and aquarium salt can also be used in conjunction with the likes of Esha 2000 for improved recovery times.

Okay, thanks. I am going to use Pimafix with it.

By way of a heads up-
 

 
Mouth Fungus
   Symptoms: White cottony patches around the mouth.   
 
    Mouth Fungus is so called because it looks like a fungus attack of the mouth. It is actually caused from the bacterium Chondrococcus columnaris. It shows up first as a gray or white line around the lips and later as short tufts sprouting from the mouth like fungus. The toxins produced and the inability to eat will be fatal unless treated at an early stage. This bacteria is often accompanied by a second infection of an Aeromonas bacteria.

     Penicillin at 10,000 units per liter is a very effective treatment. Treat with a second dose in two days. Or use chloromycetin, 10 to 20 mg per liter, with a second dose in two days. Other antibiotics can also be effective. Kanacyn (kanamycin) will treat both bacteria at once. Maracyn (erythromycin) is effective against C. columnaris, and using Maracyn 2 (minocycline) in conjuntion with it will treat the Aeromonas bacteria as well.
