Warming up the fish

Fish with the appearance of what you showed me are in serious trouble, but are often helped by warmth, clean water, and Fluke Tabs. Often, these lesions are the result of:

1) Low pH

2) Flukes (very common to appear like this in cold water)

3) Virus (papilloma) as a result of chilling water

4) In some rare cases bacterial infection

When you warm them up in well aerated faciliites and treat them to either SupaVerm or Fluke Tabs, and ensure a suitable pH and water quality, the fishes' white flecks begin to peel off en masse and many have been saved without caustic remedy. Apparently the #3 cause above is simply eradicated by little more than warmth.
