    Think the powders work the best, the sprays not so much.

          I've never tried those things for fish and don't think it would be a good idea.

          Think it was furan or furan2 that works

            I used methylene blue as an antifungal back when I was breeding angels. Works well...

            What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

                +1 But you might want to also treat for bacterial infection at the same time. Having only a fungal infection is rare.

                    Not sure what you are dealing with, or if you have a microscope, OR if you've read these two blog posts before, but I had an extreme case of fungus, bacteria, and parasites on a very damaged pond fish once. I documented the entire month and posted videos of the organisms that I scraped from his body. It wasn't a happy ending but it was a major learning experience.





                    Good luck!

                          my favorite meds i like to used is melafix and primafix for treating fungal infection and bacterial infection a safe natural way. Or you u can always use jungle binox. this is a stronger medicine in my opinion then melafix and primafix but it will turn aquarium water yellow and some ornaments. happy fungus fighting. p.s. if its a major fungus infection, (you probably already know) you should lower your temp to keep the fungus from growing rapidly, lowing the temp will detain the growth of the fungus and gives you more time in killing it with meds. good luck
