Hello everyone I am a newbie here..look forward to chatting with you all. I have been keeping a pond for 4 years with no problems ....till now ???. My Ghost Carp has fungus growing . He has two patches either side the top of his back , with another patch further down his back which looks ulcerated.
I have isolated him in a small tank in the garage, and treated him yesterday with Potassium Permanganate(hope that is spelt right!) It seems to be working, as I scraped the fungus off yesterday and so far it hasn't returned.
What I am wondering is , how often should I treat him, to ensure this fungus doesn't return....yesterday he had 4 dips in close succession..each dip lasting approx2 - 4 minutes.
Regards
Claire
