Damn.......slime appearing on fish body........


Recommended Posts

Notice my newly bought mystery wrasse starts to hv slimy stuff appearing on its body and pectoral fins rotting away. What's happening to it? Is it some kind of disease and any cure for it? Appreciate your advice bros.

Sounds like velvet. Catch out the fish asap as this disease is very infectious and could easily kill in 1-2 days. Isolate it and perform copper treatment immediately (Seachem cupramine).

Refer to the following thread as the guy experienced similar symptoms too.

Always something more important than fish.
