 | Featherfin Problem! Need help! |
Maximum467 Small Fry Posts: 2 Kudos: 2 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Feb-2006 | My Featherfin Catfish of 7 years has acquired some sort of fungus around it's anal cavity, between the lower tail fins. I have since removed it from general population and treated with maracyn without success. A diagnosis and a remedy would be greatly appreciated...I do not want to lose this fish. Thank You.  |
