Skin Parasites need advice

Post by Bluepr »

White threads grow out of white and red edged wounds, and form cottony puffs i've been told to treat this with: Malachite Green -or- Forma-Green -or- Nitrofuracin Green

Good idea or no? My fish seem to have lost there appetite for any food i drop in the tank.


Thanks,
Daniel
