>I've had some kind of disease in my pumpkinseed sunfish for the past two
>weeks or so. I thought I could "feed" them out of it with lots of live food,
>but that hasn't happened. They have what is best described as dandruff
>that's especially thick dorsally. It started as a sprinkling on both sides
>of the dorsal fin, but in the last 3 or 4 days has become pretty much over
>the entire body & includes fins and even the eyes. While all of the fish
>continue to eat well, it's now obvious that the disease isn't going away and
>they are beginning to get a barely perceptible light colored "fuzz" along
>their flanks. These are fish that wintered in a cool room and have just
>recently had temps consistently above 50F. I also have yellow perch & white
>crappie in with these sunfish, although neither of these species exhibit any
>disease. Any help would be appreciated.
