fungus on mudpuppy

[bink]

can someone tell me what I can use that will stop this fungus that mudpuppies get so often. I've tried, salt baths, methylene blue and pimafix,. The mudpuppy has tolerated all the treatments well however none of them are even phasing the fungus. can anyone help me here?

have you tried cooling? get it down to 5-10C for a day or 2 (u might need a fridge for this and I would cool it down slowly over a couple of days then warm it up slowly again)

tea methods fairly unsubstantiated but has some followers (Source: Caudata Culture Articles - Illness Part 2 )

I take one bag of black tea without any additional aroma (it is important to use black tea because this kind of tea is fermented and so it has tannins) for every 10 litres of water (preferably used in a quarantine tank). This tea gets dashed with boiling water in a seperate bowl - I leave it there for at least 10 to 15 minutes so the tannins are resolved into the water. The tea has to cool down and is finally added to the quarantine water. After a week I make a bigger change of water (60% at least), the rest of the tea is removed over time by normal water changes. If you have to make more regular water changes (f.i. in a small bowl or tank) the tea concentration can be refilled. As far as I know there are no negative effects even for long term treatment.

silver sulfadiazine (1%) is another option but I don't know how often or how much cream to apply

Thanks, they are cooler than room temp now, they are in my basement and the temp is probably around 60 or maybe a little less. I may try that. The fungus doesn't seem to be getting worse since I have started trying to treat it but is isn't getting better either. it is barely noticible but nearly covers both sides , but is just a slightly cloudy film.

put them in the refrigerator and then hit them with tetracycline.
