Hi all:
I have a head and tail light tetra that has lost some scales and has what I think is some body fungus (cloudy film over eyes, fins somewhat eaten away). I was advised by lfs to treat with PimaFix but would rather not treat the whole tank and risk harming my beneficial bacteria.
Has anyone used a specimen container attached to the inside of the tank for a sick fish? That way the temperature of the specimen container would be the same as the tank. I could also insert a hose from my gang valve for a little aeration. Obviously I would probably have to do daily water changes and re-medicate but this would avoid treating the whole tank.
Thanks for any input.
