Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / June 2004Potassium Permangaate question
Where do you buy it from? I need to topically treat one of my black moors fin which has been white and slightly worn away - salt and melafix has made no difference to it. >Where do you buy it from?

I'm pretty sure you used to be able to get it from the chemist - I remember topping up my chemistry set as a kid. otherwise you could try a vet or a chemistry set manufacturer (that wasn't supposed to be facetious, btw). But I'd try chemists first - even if they don't stock it the pharmacist might well be able to help.  Signaturesophie >Where do you buy it from?

I got mine from a scientific supply house in Los Angeles. I see that that fish place sells it www.thatfishplace.com Stock Nr NK0012 for $2.99 for 4 Oz. It is a solution there, not the pure stuff.

INgrid This is WHITE about .5cm2 and the fin is rotting or broken on the edge this is on the pelvic fin. Water parameters are normal and have tried salting and tried melafix to no avail. Fish looks happy enough though ahh..OK. well PP in the water treatment may work if the slime coat is thick. actually, a peroxide dip (use the methods on the puregold website) might help, or just swabbing the area with peroxide outta the bottle. but the only thing I found works for fin rot is water changes and a bit of salt.

Ingrid Exactly why I'm looking for alternatives as I've tried this method already (was my first course of action) |
