cotton mouth on my cories?

[kevin007]

=( one of my cories has cotton over his mouth, i assume it is mouth fungus, he was fine yesterday?

what causes this?

Cottom mouth can be caused by stress and or poor water quality.
It is a fungus and therefor needs to be treated with any anti-fungus medication.

Good luck with that please keep us posted.

When I first started fish keeping, I introduced 5 bloodfin tetras, that brought mouth fungus to my tanks.

That crap took out all 5 bloofins 2 of my original 5 zebra and couple of tigers. I seperated them into quaruntine tank, but did not save any. Very frustrating!

well metaflex is a gd option but dosen't always work so see if u can use it wit a anit-fungal med ask ur lfs. and then phone the manufacturers.

do you mean Melafix? If so please start calling it by the right name, otherwise it's very confusing.

will the deseise be contagios? and is it true that whatever in that tank (water)and touches my other aquariums that that will also get fungus?

i just changed water last week i'll do it today again and see if that helps

It will spread IME, remove to hospital at first sight of fungus
