[sir winston mulligan]

ok i did some searching on NR and i think that my zoos have some sorta fungus...it looks like its dark green and about 70% of the colony is infected ...here come the ?s

 

1. should i frag off the healthy ones?

2.what can i do about the infected ones?

i had something ahppedn to my zoos, and i squirted them several times daily with a turkey baster to get rid of the dead of infected tissue, and a few survived, and are now making a comeback.

another way to do this is a FW dip in water same temp and pH for about 10 min or so, maybe with some lugols solution in it. i would check on the 10 minute time period but im pretty sure thats about right.

thanks for replying...ive been basting them a few times daily..there is like 20+ head in the colony and like 7 are open and spreading but the other 15+ look like crap..in the pic you can see the ones that are opening...ill try the FW dip action and see what happens

now all of these have closed up....everything else is doing great except for these zoos

You can try a dip. 1 gallon of RO water and 5ml of iodine or 4 drops of Lugols.

Dip for 5 min.

 

Make sure the water is the same temp and PH as your tank so it is less shock.

 

Those zoos dont look that bad. A bit retracted but I dont see any in the pic above that look in real trouble.

 

How long have you had them?

clarkiiclown: the pic is a couple weeks old and ive had them for about 3 weeks, everything was going good until recently....all of the ones in the second pic are closed now...im going to do the iodine dip tonight...how often should i repeat the dip?
