Hello everyone!
I am an old school aquarium enthusiast from way back. My tank is 32 years old, although it has been moved MANY times! I almost never have disease problems. In fact, over the years there have been times in my life where I have totally ignored my tank for a week or more at a time, with no negative issues.
I have a 55 community tank. I have a low grade bacterial infection, but I do not know enough to determine if it is gram pos or gram neg. I have been treating with Melafix off and on for 2 months. The symptoms still persist, taking about 1 fish every 2 weeks. The fish appear to be very healthy: active, eating, fins at full sail, but then they show a white bump or growth, (usually around right pectoral joint), and then holes or pockets around head or face.
I have scaleless fish and vegetation I must protect. What medication would you prescribe?
Please help!
