Hello! So as of a few days ago my largest fish seemed to develop a white patch overnight on his fin. It looks like itās a little fuzzy? But Iām not sure. I have aquarium salt I could use, but I have a shrimp (ghost) and dont know if he would be okay in salted water. I know how to use aquarium salt so thatās not the issue. It seems to have spread a little but I wasnāt sure how to proceed.
Should I use the salt? The parameters are all good (0 ammonia, nitrite, and 5 nitrate), the nerite snails seem fine, the shrimp is okay, and the other nĆ©ons seem good. Itās just that one. Heās eating and is plenty big, schools with the others, doesnāt hover in one spot near the surface or anything like that really. I donāt want to go crazy and say itās neon tetra disease or Columnaris or whatever. I think itās just a fungus.
If I shouldnāt use the salt, can I use something like general cure instead? I donāt have any local fish stores nearby that carry fancy meds and I donāt think anything I order online would arrive quick enough. Petsmart and petco are my only options for meds.
