Default Treating Body Fungus

salt dip http://weloveteaching.com/puregold/d...tm#SALT%20DIPS
problems almost always start with parasites disturb the slime coat, then bacteria and
fungus move in, last is algae. So treat the parasites by stripping off the slime
coat, treat with meds, stimulate new slime coat and if the fish doesnt have a
systemic infection it will be alright without the food. treating surface bacterial
infection is fine with topical treatment and moving the fish tub to tub away from
bacteria. fish can go quite a long time without food. Ingrid

Thanks, Ingrid.

So, what kind of concentration should I use for the salt dip (i.e., how
much salt per how much water)?

Is Romet B a food? She's not eating at all right now, so I'm not sure
that we'll be able to use that.

Thanks again,

Sean
