spot on mbu fins pics are up

If it is a fungus, It might be best to spot treat the fish in a net with Methylene Blue.

1. Capture fish in net.
2. Expose affected fin into the air.
3. Add 1 to 2 drops Methylene Blue to the affected finb sight.
4. Wait 5 seconds or so, (so the medication can absorb into the wounded/fungused area)
5. Let puffer go back into the tank.

I hope that helps.

Fraser Aquarium is the closest place to you that sells it. Any residual amounts on body are quickly diluted when the fish is free swimmimg again. If it is fungus, The methylene blue will be absorbed by the fungus and fall off.

You could ask Ed (at Fraser) if he has any other suggestions as well.

Good Luck with your Mbu.

I have found that Jungle Labs Fungus Eliminator works well for fungus and very quickly.
