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... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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

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. |
