Has the fungus returned? it comes and goes (cichlid convict)
Hi again. I posted about a week ago about one of my male convicts, who appeared to have a body fungus — white, cottony tufts on head and fins. I used maroxy and maracyn and it cleared up (I used the maroxy for five days only as the instructions said.) Since then, I’ve been watching my boys very closely, and two days ago, I noticed that the same guy had a white substance on his head, above his eyes in sort of a triangle shape toward the start of his dorsal fin. Yesterday, there was white stuff partially on his eye. Later in the day, it appeared to clear up along with the stuff on his head. Today, there’s not as much on his head, but there is white stuff around his eyes. (Not covering the eye itself but around the eye.) Has the fungus returned, or perhaps never truly left? At this point, I don’t know whether to start the maroxy again, move him to the hospital tank, or just wait and see what happens. I confess I have trouble with the idea of isolating him in the hospital tank if it’s not contagious. Whatcha think?
