Title: Help me:
Post by: brad282 on June 04, 2005, 03:16:00 PM
my dominatnt fronnie male has a white spot on its head it started off as like a bite from one of the other fish i think but now its circular and u can see the white flesh is doesnt look to good, i dont think its that hole in the head thing cause its not really a hole if anything it sticks out, do u reckon it would be fungus or parasite, if so what should i do, cheers

I have put the fronnie in is own little tank just in case that pimafix affects my other fish, does it take long to work or just a couple of weeks, Also is pimafex the only one to use if the pet shop does not stock it?? any feed back would be muchly appreciated. cheers

Pimafix is Pimenta racemosa or West Indian Bay Tree.<
