Finny Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I have a similar "cotton-like" substance on my danios and I think it is not fungal, but bacterial. See this article: http://www.flippersandfins.net/Flexibacter.htm I am treating with Maracyn-two and have seen some slight improvement....early in the treatment though. Maybe this helps you out?

Update: I switched treatment of my danios to kanamycin. They are just finishing their third and final dose (according to directions on the label) and they look really good. Very active and eating well. They should be ready to go back into their regular tank by tomorrow. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
