Once fin rot has reached the body is it too late?
I thought the fin was looking a little ragged on one of my loaches, but when I looked up fin-rot it said it was accompanied by a white fungusy thing, but apparently thats wrong, as today I looked at her and theres white stuff all around the base of her dorsal fin and the scales are reddish (inflamed).
One of the other loaches seems to have the startings of it, so I was still going to treat with the maracyn, but I was wondering how much of a chance the female has?
Ammonia and nitrites are zero, could the cause be a possible other infection they have been fighting? (another fish was sick in the last week that I qt'd)
TIA!
