    It could be the Pimafix then. I was dosing with both.

    Quite the possibility, I have nevere used Pimafix. When talking to techs from fish sites when I 1st started they always mentioned melafix over pima.

    Yeah Pima is for fungus, and Mela is an antibacterial.

    yea i think ill just leave him be for a few more days and see if it clears up any more, its already become 50% better within 24hrs all by itself

    see thats why im afraid of dosing anything, i worry if i overdose im going to kill something

    still a little afraid to use it but i guess its just a good thing to have

    no cloudy water thats a good sign
