Ich or fungus

[Stephaniewhite]

Sorry I'm new here My last post was missing my pic. Could this be ich? It's only on her fins and I have one more that's got one spot on the tail. It doesn't look like salt it's kind of cloudy

Did this get any worse? It doesn't look like ich off the photos.

No its not worse it's kinda faded a bit now on her tail but it was also on her pectoral fin as well. I've been treated for ich in a hospital tank but it's not going away whatever it is.

I thought maybe fungus but it didn't look like any pictures I saw of fungus. She doesn't act sick at all she's eating and swimming fine.

Could it be cotton fin fungus? The second link has a photo. It's a bit small for me to see but only other thing I can think of is fin rot although I've always had that on fin edges.

If t is fading, more water changes may help it along. What are your tank water specs - are they all ok?

Well first you stop treating from ich, because it's a parasite and if your using meds it can be hard on your fish. I know there are meds for fungus, but I really have no experience with fungus. As with ALL fish diseases/injury make sure your water conditions are pristine for optimum healing and feed quality food.

Ah- Delapools first link has treatment options. You should read it.

Good points above on quality fish food and good water changes.

Can I ask what your ph is (along with other water specs like ammonia, nitrate) and what was in the ich treatment ingredients if it is listed? Also how often and how much are your water changes.
