Corydora with cotton fungus (Saprolegnia)

Today, in the 20 gallon tank, we found this Emerald Catfish (Brochis splendens) infected with some kind of fungus. Looks like cotton but is coming from inside the fins. Tomorrow we will get a small tank and separate it to treat with salt.

Armando it looks like ick to me but maybe its a fungus... have you tried that icky bottle that they carry in the shop there?

Hi, just looking in per chance.
I'm a starter so have no ideas on the fungus. However, i can see no sand for your cute bottom dwellers. They love to stick their head into it and root around. Good luck on the treatment.

I hope you'll find how to cure it.
