Newbie with a fungus problem?
OK. I thought you had used Maracyn Two early on but it must have been someone else out here with goldfish issues.
Even ammonia levels as low as you’ve kept them (due to your diligence with constant PWC’s), will still cause ammonia poisoning issues for the fish… especially when cycling with fish where you have to let the ammonia be there in order to cycle the tank. I scrolled down and found a previous pH test and it was 7.6. With higher pH levels, over 7.5, ammonia becomes MUCH more toxic so a 0.25ppm level of ammonia is a lot worse for fish at 7.6 pH compared to 7.0 pH.
Hopefully, that’s all it is and it will slowly go away once the tank is fully cycled and there are no longer any issues with ammonia/nitrites… then you’ll just have to do lots of PWC’s to keep the nitrates low and for general water quality since the tank is still overcrowded.
If my memory serves me correctly, your next treatment plan is for PraziPro.. right? At least Prazi is mild and doesn’t cause stress to fish like the other things that you’ve had to use so far.
