It appears that my Black Dommino Damsel has fungus on his
Dorsal fin and Pectoral fin, it looks like he is also beggining to get a fungus spot on his Caudal fin. I have him in a hospital tank and currently using Melafix. I was reading a book i have called " YOU&YOUR AQUARIUM" by Dick Mills.The book talks about aquarium fish keeping and diffrent types of fish both fresh water and saltwater.
I was reading the part for FUNGUS TREATMENT and it states "Pre-soak cotton in water squeeze it nearly dry, then dip it providone iodine or mercurchrome. take the fish out of the tank (it will survive for 1-2 minutes). Holding it in a wet cloth, and use the prepared cotton to wipe off the fungus. Then transfer the fish to a hospital tank treat it with a proproetary broad-spectrum treatment. Find the initial cause of fungal attack and remedy it.
my question is, is this what i am suppose to do to cure him? it did not state if its for saltwater or freshwater. And if so where do i buy Providine iodine or mercurchrome? The last part where it says abou after treatment treat hospital tank with proproetary broad-spectrum treatment, does that mean the melafix?
