angel fish with fungus

[radwrasse11]

Hey everybody. Its been a long time since ive asked a question on here. I do have a little issue that I would like to address ASAP to avoid an out of control outbreak on my fish. I have an angelfish. Its eather a baby koran or blue face. He's in a 55 temp tank and he has a small patch of fungus on one of those barbell deals on the bottom of his gill. the tank houses a small colony of mushrooms, a sunrise dottyback and a hawk fish. Now if i need to move the mushrooms, i can, but as bad as it sounds, im not to worried about them as i have a million in my display tank. any suggestions on good treatment methods aside from clean water? Ill be performing 10% water changes every 3rd day to keep the water clean and parasite/fungus free to avoid any further infestation.

It sounds like that it might be Lymphocystis. If that is the case, clean water and proper nutrition should be the treatment.

so do you think some treatment with melafix and pimafix as a natural supplement might help?? I kinda feel like i should do something more, as its worse today then it was.
