How long does fungus take to clear up?

Question

I discovered about a week ago that my fish has fungus. I started treating him with a fungus eliminator last Friday, and it's one that you use every 4 days, so he's gotten 2 treatments so far. About how long does it take for the fungus to clear up? The fish itself has been acting better, he's eating again and has been more active but the fungus doesn't look like it's really gone down at all.

Answer 1

Fungus usually responds to treatment quite quickly. If this hasn't gotten better in 6 days, I would recommend changing treatments. Try a different medication such as Maroxy or Coppersafe. Some medications do better against one type of fungus, some against others.
