Just lost my fishy friends to a fungal infection. I think it came from 2 otos I bought at Petco... I tried medicating with maroxy but it was too late.
Here is my question... the tank is full of anubias frazeri, moneywort and a banana plant (all healthy and growing well), but there are some small, fuzzy white patches on the gravel and on a few stems. I think it's the damn fungus! Although the fish are gone, I'm still treating the tank for the full 5 days. Should I try scraping as much of the stuff off as I can? Will the fuzz hurt the plants? Also, do you think I need to break down the whole tank before thinking about adding future fish, or will the meds do the trick?
Any help will be appreciated.
