How do you tell if your fish has calamnaris or mouth rot or something else all together?
I am not new to keeping fish, however, ive been having an issue with my rainbowfish. I have a rainbow fish that has white saly like growths on his mouth. The reason I think its Calamnaris is the fact that he also has a white string that hangs from it and moves in and out as he breathes. Also, I wiped the white stuff off with a q-tip and it seems to have removed a bit of his lip.
I have treated with parasite clear and fungus clear by jungle. I also used Furan II when i had something similar I the past on a danio. With the danio, it never went away, however, it would get better and come back weeks later
Anyone have similar experience? I would love to hear of a remedy
Parameters
Amonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrates - between .25 and. 40 I think that's the next line.
