What is the best method/medication for treating Fine Rot? I treated a Coral Beauty with Mardel Saltwater Maracyn and he died the next day.
It would depend on how advanced the problem is. In most cases, minor problems require no medications at all. The major causes are usually elevated DOC in the water and/or a supressed immune system. The easiest first step is a few good sized water changes with well aged and aerated SW. That will help in reducing the DOC that feeds the bacteria. The other is being sure all the food fed to the fish are properly fortified with a good liquid marine vitamin. That will help boost the fishs natural immune system. With the lowered DOC and increased nutrition, the fish will typically kick the problem quite quickly.robocop said:What is the best method/medication for treating Fine Rot?
