persistent fungus
 

Hi all

My aro has fungus on the head from jumping and scratching its head. I have tried arowana o disease, pimafix melafix and yellow powder but all dont seem to work.. anything else i can do to kill the fungus? Thanks

Might need to look at the root cause of the problem... My Aro had lice from feeder fish and kept rubbing it body and scratching it's body on the filter... Could not see the lice then till it got bigger... Tried all... Pirma & Melanin before then when I could see the lice it was only then I was able to do the right treatment and got rid of the lice... With fungus you must also keep good water conditions to aid the recovery of the fish.

Hope this helps...

dun look like fungus at all. more like scratch/bump marks to the top scale.

Its spreading started from head now upto 2nd scale and also see some spider webs like things on the scale

hi Chubby,

Have you tested your water parameters to make sure there's nothing wrong with parameters that might be annoying your aro?

thanks

Yup water parameters are fine

have you also tried cleaning the filters?
it might be time to change your filter media.

try Salt. bring concentration up to 0.6% slowly. and then maintain for a few weeks.

looking at the video , it doesnt look like fungus, but scratch to the head.
