hello, my sick firemouth has just started showing interest in food and started doing normal poos again (suspected internal bacterial infection)
overnight she developed cotton-like fungus on her head and smaller bits around her mouth
as soon as i noticed i did a 50% water change and added pimafix.

my questions are;
should i increase the temp? (and add an airstone)
should i also try adding salt to the tank?
her tank gets little light, should i put a light on her tank? does light discourage fungus?

she's in a 2 foot hospital tank on her own
