Aquarium Advice FINatic
My porcupine puffer fish has a case of some type of external problem. It looks almost like marine ick, although the dusting of white spots over him is much finer than ick and covers much more of his body than ick typically would. My assumption is that he has some type of fungus growing on him. His fins are simply covered in the white spots, although like I said before they are much finer than the white spots typically associated with ick.
I have quarantened him in my 10 gallon hospital tank and am treating him with both Mela Fix, and Pima Fix. I raised the tank tempature to 82 degrees in hopes of warding off any possible parasites. As of this morning, one day into treatment nothing had changed. Any suggestions on what this may be, or how to treat it?
