Before you roll your eyes at anyone, think about it. It is a forum, for people to learn & we are all at different stages of fish keeping abilities.
Fish usually only break out with fungus because of stress, injury, dirty water or poor nutrition.
While treatment is great, look at what could be the cause. How often do you do water changes,(get your water tested) is your tank overcrowded, is there a bully in the tank....
Also use some salt 1tbsp per 20 litres for africans & do a water change & keep your airation up.
And also most fungy remedies are toxic to the nutrifying bacteria so watch your water for a few weeks.
Frenchy :D
yes pervention IS better than cure.......
id be doing what HFF said.....
cheers
