Fungus Amongus

[Mattuuu2]

Anyone have any luck with Pimafix or Melafix from API? My dottyback and Jewel damsel have a fungus. One has what looks like a white growth on his lip and the other a darker fuz on his sides.

Usually by the time you notice a fungal infection, it's too late. They can be very difficult to treat, but those meds are really commonly used for that purpose. Their success rate is not high, but if anything will cure a fungus, it's one of those.

They both have hardy appetites and the fungus just appeared this morning. Started treatment immediately. Any other treatment recommendations would be appreciated.

Biffer is correct. While I've had some luck with this medications, they don't cure everything. They are very specific and so unless you can properly identify the fungus (expensive and challenging), it's more hit and miss than anything else.
