Question
Hi Dave!

Baby Huey is trying VERY hard to swim upright.  I added 1/2 cup of aquarium salt this morning.  Another problem has arose from all of this.  He is getting white fuzzy stuff on his tail.  I just noticed this about 1 hour ago.  Should I add more Fungus Clear?

Thanks for all your help.  As always, it is GREATLY appreciated.

Donna

Answer
Hi Donna:  What is the tank temperature??? he may have ICH and not fungus... Add the antifungal med and keep me posted...also raise the temperature to 75 degrees but do it slowly... one degree per hour or so... lets evaluate this again this evening.... dave
