WHITE FLURRY STUFF!

[Dragons Bay]

One of my adult platies have white, flurry stuff on the back of his dorsal fin. I didn't notice it until today, but he was unwell for some time already...

I suspect it's a disease caused by dirty water. What is it and how can I treat it (without a hospital tank)? ALL HELP IS GRATEFUL! THANK YOU!

Sounds like fungus to me

I've never had any experience treating fungus, so I can't give you much info other than that. I'm sure someone else with more experience treating fungus can help you out.

But supposing I don't have a hospital tank. What can I do? Thanks.

Then u'll have to treat the whole tank. But first, do a check on the water parameteres. N do a water change, like may b 20-30%.

I don't know what treatment u can get in HK cos I only started this hobby when I came to England. I hope the people in ur lfs can help u out!

Just remember to take out the carbon, or UV lights etc before the treatment. Good luck~
