Question
Hi, my normally happy sailfin who I have had for 6 month + has got what looks like green mould growing on his body and eyes, he is hardly breathing and does not move. What is the best readly available treatment for this diesease?
Thanks

Answer
Hi Sophie;

Sounds like a fungus. I would first make a 25% water change in the tank and then using a remedy like Fungus Eliminator;

If you can't find that one, anything that treats for fungus will be helpful.

I hope he feels better soon.....
