My only viel angel fish started to get this clear stringy stuff hanging of his fins and tail. It looked as if his slime coat is creating it. Now 2 other angels are infected with this stuff so I whent out and bought Primafix, because its suposed to take care of fungus and bacteria. I used the primafix for 7 day and nothing has changed the stuff is still on thier fins. what do I do.

  1. It sounds like nothing more than excessive mucus production.  The mucus glands are at the bases of the fins, and if the fish's skin is irritated, the first places to see extra slime will be the fins.  Check your water to make sure everything is good (0 ppm ammonia and nitrite and less than 20 ppm nitrate), the water is dechlorinated, and there are no other stressors the fish are exposed to.


  2. Treat it quick it is a bacteria or worm go to your nearest pet store and tell em what is happening then they will tell you want to do
