A couple weeks ago I bought a pair of blue rams. Within a day of arriving in my tank the female started to show visible Ich. I raised the temperature to 30C and added 2 tsp of salt per gallon to treat the ich and threw some melafix in for good measure. After a week the visible ich was gone but replaced with cottony balls of fungus on the base of the tail and the all over the membrane of the fins. I treated with Melafix and Primafix with no effect for one week. I have now been administering Maroxy for 5 days and the fungus does not seem getting any better.
I'm looking for suggestions as to what to do next. The ram is still very active, and is eating, but I dont know how long she'll be able to tolerate this fungus as the infection is the worse that I've ever seen in my relatively short time keeping fish.
thanks in advance.
