One of my danio's has something on it's body. It isn't white spots or at least they don't look white to me. On top and the right side of the body it appears to be on the scales I've been watching it closely and has not spread just wondering what it could be? My apologies that my post is vague I don't know how to best explain what I am seeing.

I have never used Quick Cure but googled it. It says 3 dosages maximum = 3 days.
You always remove the carbon when medicating a tank. I would do a water change 24 hours after the last treatment and put in the carbon then to remove any meds still in the tank.

You might want to wait for some other opinions from people who actually used the meds.

Good luck!

you remove the carbon because the carbon removes the medication.

you say you want to be on the safe side... are you fish showing any symptoms??

you shouldnt medicate a tank if it doesnt need it. but carbon does remove medication from the water, so rendering it useless.

Thanx all....I called the 1800 number and solved the problem.....Ya what a mess....went to take the carbon out well i emptied 5 or so gallons on the darn carpet forgot to shut the valve off......well i'll never do that again...in hindsight lmao..... What Was I Thinking???? I guess I WASN'T. From what I understand Quick Cure Does NOT harm the fish anyway even if they don't have what Quick Cure is used for...I am using it for preventative measures.

To the question at the top of this post.......Should I scoop the lil guy out and take it to a pet store to see if they could shed some light to what it maybe???? No other fish have anything on them just the one but whose to say that it won't spread if it is an illness of some sort???

[waterlilly]

I don't know if I would put the extra stress on the fish. I would separate him from the others, with other words put him in a hospital tank.

Ya now I'm noticing lil white like spots on the other danio's as well...I have rams in my hospital tank already....
