Hello,

So I had my DFP in quarantine for about 2 weeks, and finally caught a damsel I've been trying to get rid of last night.

I was having issues controlling the ammonia in the quarantine tank (I don't think I seeded the sponge filter long enough) so I put the DFP in the display tank.

He was fine without any of this white stuff when he went into the tank. These pics were taken about 30 minutes after he was put in the DT.

When I went to take the damsel back to the LFS he told me that the fish had fungus on his fin.

The DFP has been searching around the LR and spitting air everywhere so he may have just gotten dirty (I really really hope) but I'm thinking this might be fungus...

Is there any way for me to treat him for this in the DT? Is there a chance it will go away on its own??

Water parameters are ammonia - 0 nitrites - 0 nitrates - 5-10

Ahhh this sucks I love this guy :(

I'm pretty sure its fungus he's still swimmin around like crazy and begging for food though..

My quarantine is a 30 gallon and I have 2 damsels and a puffer infected... wasn't noticable until today so now if I have to put the puffer/2 domino damsels in a 30 gallon how would that work out?

Is there any way I can treat the display tank?? Most stuff I see will kill my live rock.
