Hey, guys. New to the forum. Unfortunately, I'm posting here because I'm not sure what I'm dealing with. My RedDwarf Gourami has a web-like fungus growing on it and I'm currently treating with Maracyn 1 and 2, he's more active but it doesn't seem to be going away. Today will be day 3 of 5 of treatment.

Some background on my tank, it's a 30gal, all parameters are perfect, I've done frequent water changes. He had tank mates, a few Zebra Danios, that had passed on due to this fungus. The Maracyn wasn't working for them, I guess.

I've attached a few pictures. I was only able to get one side of him, but the other looks just like it. Hopefully I can get rid of this thing ... :mad2:

Thanks in advance!

Just did a water test now so I can post proper parameters, realize this is important:

ammonia: 0, nitrate: 20, nitrite: 0, ph: between 6-6.5 (similar shades, more towards the 6.5) .. also should note that I have a pretty decent sized airstone in there constantly running.

Thanks, again.
