I hope that someone here can help me.

I did a 30% water change Sunday. Monday night I discovered that one of my Gourami had what looked like mouth fungus.

I treated the water with Interpet no. 8 (anti-fungus & finrot) but I just got in & he was hiding behind the filter & there was no sign of the other male.

The ill one finally came out slowly but seemed to be unaware of things in the tank such as the thermometer & was startled when he bumped into it.

I then found the other male hiding in the corner right at the top of the tank.

Anyone got any ideas???

Thanks,

Russ

Your best hope would probably be to get some fungus medicine and treat the water. Usually, I'd say quarantine it, but I've found that every time I do this the fish usually dies. I think netting stresses it out too much. So, last time when I had a nasty case of fin rot (all my fish that have gotten in it the past died from it) I just treated the whole aquarium. Not a speck of fungus anywhere anymore, and the swordtail's fins appear to be healing nicely. So like I say, I'd think that would be your best hope.

In case you're wondering, I used Jungle Fungus Clear tablets.
