We are hobbyist with many years of experience and all the information in this group is given in good faith by people who care enough to want to help. Definate diagnosis of a disease is only possible if the fish is examined by a professional in fish health, often with the aid of a microscope. All anyone online can do without examining the fish in question is give it their best guess based on the information they recieve and the experience they have in recognising symptoms and disorders.
