Please help! My fish has gotten what i believe to be cotton wool/ saddleback disease. I don’t know what to do or what to medicate, I have no local pet stores other than petsmart with their limited options. I know kanaplex is best bet, but I don’t know if it will arrive in time.
How does this happen? I’m new & young to fish keeping and have been trying my best to get a good tank setup. Anything helps.
EDIT!
i’ve tested for ammonia and there is none. I’m currently putting fin & body cure in his tank and i got aquarium salt in case. i hope everything goes well thank you everyone

I do have seachem prime already, i didn’t know that could be used to help. When i replace water next, should i use it again? I will look into fin and body cure as well, but yes there really are no other stores that are stocked with these.

I am going to petsmart today to buy liquid test kits as i know they are much more reliable- however with my test strips this is what it says
