Fish Fungus and Bacteria Treatments
Bacterial and fungal infections are commonly found in aquarium life from time to time. They typically originate from poor water quality, poor hygiene, infection from other aquatic life or other health issues that have gone untreated. The quicker you can identify an issue and start treating, the better chance your fish have of recovering. Some visible signs of illness to keep an eye out for include ulcers, cysts, decaying tissues or fins, or cottony growths. Common behaviors to watch for include fish holding their fins close to their body, erratic swimming, gasping for air or not eating/spitting food out.

Doesn't appear to be attached to his body anywhere else but his one fin. He is in a 1 gal tank and I put a fungal treatment in his bowl. Was this the right way to go or should I simply keep with salt and pristine water
