When is the fish "cured" & not contagious?
I am rescuing a little guppy who had gotten a fuzzy fungus ball on his dorsal fin. He had been living in an isolated, poorly maintained bowl--NOT mine.
I knocked the fungus off with a Q-tip and put him in a container with an appropriate dash of API Fungus Cure and a few grains of API Aquarium Salt.
After a week of treatment with the Fungus Cure (as directed), there are no indications of external fungus and the fish looks pretty lively.
How long do I leave him isolated in this bowl? When is he "cured"?
Thanks, folks.

Fungus isnt insanely infectious, id say a week or two if you want to be safe.

My guess would be he's cured when no more fungus is seem.
