Can Anyone Help?

One of my C. virginiea/Sangamas has a withered dorsal. It is the original color and not faded, but it is withered from the top down like a piece of black plastic. The tank has been treated for fungus (w/Mardel's Maroxy) before as some of the aeneus pop up with it, but that has had no effect. He has had it for some time and it is beginning to look as if it is progressing. I don't have a picture at this time.

Does anyone have any experience with this??


here is the same post in the Corydoras section

You need a bacterial med to stop it in it's tracks fast before it's to late.
Good luck.

What do you recommend?

The tank is definately overstocked with volunteer aeneus babies.

I have Tetracycline tabs. I have a variety of Mardel antibiotics but I doubt I have Maracyn and Maracyn II on hand.

I would only use tetracycline if you can issolate the fish as it wipes the bacteria colony out in the filter.
