I did face the problem same as bro Zoff's fish, and the disease can be seen in the folder.
Can any of the aro medic give a helping hand on this.

Thankyou.

Calling help, especially from the aromed.
The situation did not improve.....but get little worst...

I did wc 20% this morning with more stress coat anti chlorine (as what written in the instruction, if to treat skin disease).

Bro, urs seem to be a water problem. Add activated carbon for a few days to remove unwanted chemical in the water.

So far no response from the aro medic yet.
And the situation still same, or little worse............

Just curious how come no reply from any of the aro medic here (furthermore I pm them). Are they very busy.....or not so helpful!

Sorry for the fustration.....as I have been calling help for so many days.

Dun panic too much. Just to let you know, my aro also have the same problem as yours, whitish stuff on the top scale. Hope that makes you feel better that you're not alone, encountering problems like this.

Stay cool, and dun meddle with medication unless you can pinpoint exactly wat's wrong with your aro. If apply wrongly, it may aggravate the situation and stress your aro even more.

For my case (its even worse), I just noticed that the single affected scale is slightly protruding this evening after i'm back from work. Dun intent to worry too much over it, and maintain good water parameters shd do the trick.

Let time and the aro's own body resistance/immunity system help it recover from the problem. As long as the aro is healthy and feeding fine, it shd recover, although slowly and may take some time.

Also, try to give the aromedics a break lah, its festive season and they may be on holidays or such. Plus this is one of the "lesser" forums within the arofanatics forums. Viewership is very much lower than others, such as discussion, buy/sell, etc.

I'm just trying to give some of my views and hope you dun take offence.

I am very offended by this comment of yours. I'm not obliged to answer every single pm I get on fish diseases, if it's not an emergency. I get on average 3-5 pms a day on various fish diseases. I don't sit at the computer the whole day waiting to answer people's problems on their fishes. I have a day job too.

The aromedic forum was set up with the sole purpose to teach hobbyists how to examine their fishes when they are sick. Have a read of the sticky & you'll find very detailed explanation on how you could examine & give accurate history & description of your fish's problems. This in turn would may it easier for others on the forum to contribute their suggestions on possible diagnosis & treatment methods.

Just because the 2 remaining mods have some medical training, doesn't mean we're experts on fish diseases. This forum was not formed for the purpose of you asking the mods to give a diagnosis for your fish. Besides with the vague history & lesions that you've have provided, no one can give you a proper diagnosis. It was discussed once when we first started the aromedics forum that threads without proper history given according to the guidelines, we would not even bother answering them.

If you brought your fish to a vet, he or she would still need adequate history & description from you, perhaps even require to see your fish & take some samples before he can give you a diagnosis. Do you think with that poor history of yours I will even have the slightest clue what's wrong with your fish? What do you think will happen if I gave you a wrong diagnosis & treatment & your fish died because of that?

I will emphasize again that if you want people to help you with your problem, please read the posting guidelines & provide adequate information. I will mention again that I will not & cannot answer every single pm that is sent to me. If the problem is one that others on the forum can provide some help & suggestions, I'll leave it for others to comment. My job is to ensure that the forum runs smoothly & to lend some medical advice to any treatment suggestions that may be completely wrong. It's definitely not to give a diagnosis for everyone problems.

As much as I'm not a fan of the rep system, I'm going to zap you for this uncalled for comment. If not for any other purpose, but to make myself feel better.

Brother
relax a bit
I know u are frustrated n worried
I am 2 coz i just found out that my rtg has dropsy about 3 hours ago
I panicked like hell but now i am bit more calm already

Notice that you used the word MORE on ur previous posting. Adding more stresscoat anti chlorine will definately not help u. Adding extra bit will not harm the fish. BUt overdosing can actually stress the fish out delaying the healing process.

Thanks for yr comfort.
I also know that there are many bros around us having this problem, but too bad there is no solution for that (from the info I gathered so far).
But from yr reply, seem that you don't add any medication so far...and only do regular wc to maintain a good water parameter. Do you add salt and heater?
I just add activated carbon last night to remove whatever chemical and impurities (which also include medication). If situation improve, will share with all affected personnel.

Cheers!!!!
