Description
Fish fungus is easy to recognise and easy to leave too long. It appears as pale, cotton wool like tufts on the body, fins or mouth, and it almost always turns up after something else has gone wrong first, such as a torn fin from a net or a scrap with a tankmate, a chill, or a stretch of poor water quality. Aquasonic Fungonex is formulated to assist in controlling fungal infections in freshwater fish.
Treating early matters, because fungus spreads across damaged tissue rather than healthy skin and gets harder to deal with the longer it has. Fungonex is a dedicated fungal treatment rather than a catch all, so it suits the case where you can see those characteristic growths and want to act on them specifically. Dose according to the directions on the pack for your tank volume.
Take activated carbon out of the filter before you start, since carbon absorbs the medication and reduces its effect, and avoid running other treatments at the same time unless the label says you may.

Since fungus follows injury and stress, fix the underlying cause too: test the water, change some of it, and check for bullying or sharp decor. Find test kits in more fish care essentials.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Fungonex and Bactonex?
Fungonex is a dedicated fungal treatment. Bactonex is broad spectrum and also covers bacterial and protozoal problems such as whitespot and velvet.
How quickly should I treat fish fungus?
As early as possible. Fungus spreads across damaged tissue and gets harder to clear the longer it is left.
Do I remove activated carbon?
Yes. Remove carbon before dosing, because it absorbs the medication.
