Hi guys,
Just turned on my tank lights today and first thing I noticed is one of my Opaline Gourami has a white fungus on his back about two inches from his head, less than half a penny size. Definatley a fungus, not ich.
None of the other fish seem to have anything, so far!
Water stats are:
Ph: 7.8 (always has been)
Amm: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 20
Tank cycled months ago, fishless, never had any problems with the water since, test it twice a week. 30% water change done on Thursday, once a week as always.
Question is, as I dont have a QT tank, can I treat the whole tank with a fungal medication (which im gonna need to run out and buy today) or is that not a good idea?
I do have a tank currently cycling, 90L, which is processing ammonia 5ppm in about 14 hrs but the Nitrites are sky high, just reached its spike. Could I risk, doing a 90% water change on it and then putting the gourami in there to treat, water change daily as its not completely cycled? Or would it be better to leave him where he is??
Any help appreciated. Dont want to hurt the other fish by medicating the whole tank also dont want to make the gourami worse by moving him to the not completely cycled tank either
