01-04-2007 21:17 by Tanyaw	I keep coldwater fish in a 115 litre tank (think thats about 26 gal). I have lost several fish to what i think is white spot, i have treated them first with a course of Protozin, and because that didnt work, after a few days i treated them with Myxazin cause i thought maybe it was a bacterial infection. My comet has 3 white patches on his tailfin, he is really active as usual, i also have a choclate and gold fish which has what seems to be a cotton wool type mass on his side which is coming out from his scales, also he seems to be retracting his dorsal and underneath fins quite a bit, he still uses them, and seems to be more active than usual. my other fish dont seem to be affected, and only one of the 4 fish that died had these white patches. I have read about putting salt in the tank and raising the temperature to help combat certain diseases, can you do this in a coldwater tank? (how much salt and what temp? and what treatment should i use?) If anyone can help and know what it is my fish have got please let me know, i dont want to loose the two fish in question because i have had them for quite a while now and have become quite attached to them. thanks if you can help.

01-04-2007 21:20 by bluboy	tanya the fluffy patches are fungus. treat them with a medicine that treats fungal infections. fungus is usualy brought about by bad water conditions. what are ur parameters.
01-04-2007 21:23 by Tanyaw	parameters? sorry for sounding thick, i havent been keeping fish for all that long, not in a big tank anyway, and never had a problem like this. xx
02-04-2007 11:23 by bluboy	parameters are water conditions. ammonia nitrate adn nitrite. do they have a filter
