Darnit. My 'new' CT Just developed some kind of cottony patch on him, so I treated with some bettafix. Now it has spread, and it is cotton fluff covering his whole body. It must have been how they kept them in Drinking Cups. 3 days I had him!!! 3 DAYS!!!!
Could not find this disease anywhere, I thought Cotton Wool, but I don't think so any longer. Could this be highly contagious to my others? If so I am very worried.
