Hello all. I thought I knew what I was doing, but after reading some of the posts on this site...let's just say I am humbled.
My problem is fin rot with one of my oscars. I do normal water changes. (once a week or so) The water tests out just fine. I treated with API pro series fungus cure, which was reccomended by the local pet store. I followed the directions to the letter, and the problem is still there now 3 weeks after treatment.
I just added 3 tablespoons of dissolved, iodine free salt to my 30 gallon tank in an effort to help the problem, along with a 30 to 40 percent water change. I am embarrased to say that I did not know that salt could help in a freshwater tank.
Do I repeat the treatment? Do I try a different product? Please give any advise you care to. If Idon't fix this my girlfriend will make ME "sleep with the fishes"...
