- Hey netland! I've got a good one for you: I am a researcher at University
- of Delaware currently working on weakfish (Cynoscion regalis), a saltwater
- fish that lives off the East Coast over the continental shelf. We have
- several 300 gallon tanks with UGF's and canister filters (Ocean Clear). A
- couple days ago we noticed a white stringy mass on the eyes of one of the
- fish. According to Mardel's disease chart, this would be some kind of
- bacterial infection and should be treated with Maracyn. So we did that
- along with Maroxy in a 150 gallon hospital tank. The infection does not
- appear to be improving, but it doesn't look worse either. Anybody got any
- ideas? We have a limitted number of fish to work with for the winter
- (since all of them have migrated to deep water off the Carolinas for the
- winter) so any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Replies
- should be e-mailed to: "rptjr@brahms.udel.edu" or posted on the net.
- Thanx in advance 8^)
