Re: cotton mouth disease!
Hey man, fagedaboudit! I just want to save her.
I just put a teaspoon of Melafix in the 20 gallon. I will put another in
tomorrow. The male is the only other fish
in with her and there are some plants. I have an aquaclear 150 running on a
dark tank. The temp is 76,so I'll raise it. I'll put a box filter in and add
more medication. If there is no improvement, I will do the salt thing as
you suggest.
Let us pray.
