Yeah, so it seems.
Mini update, the remaining ill fish I have now discovered has a rather large area of scales missing on her side (ulceration?), I had not noticed this until now as she has been swimming with that side hidden for quite some time. The area looks clean, I have topically treated the area with bacteriacide, which is acriflavine and MG leaving it to soak into the are for a few minutes with her half in the water, injured side out, so I could treat.
I have also salted the water as advised, 5kg to my 3000litres. Whilst i had her netted I have fed her a few peas, she seems to hae no appitite tho, but is very acvite constantly swimming about, despite it being off kilter.
Just ran a water test and am showig clean results accross the board. All other fish appear clean and healthy, eating well and gently cruising around.
