Angel Fungus

http://www.atlantisaquatics.co.uk/ac...reatments.html

Be sure to keep the malachite green off of the fish's gils and eyes. Often
only one treatment is enough. If the first treatment doesn't work, I
usually try again in 48 hours.

Could you go through this with me please ?

Is this right ?
Take fish from tank in net (or container ?), dab with MG with cotton bud,
straight back in tank ?

TIA

That's pretty much it. I prefer a net for cichlids and other fish that
don't have spines so that I have good control of the fish, but use
whatever you find most comfortable. The area you're treating must be
out of the water so that the MG hits the fungus at full strength. For a
fish the size of an angel, that means the whole fish. The fish usually
fights in the net for a moment but then relaxes long enough for you to
dab the MG on with a cotton bud. Give it a moment to soak into the the
fungus - maybe a deep breath's worth of time - and then release the fish
straight back into the tank. Afterwards, the fungus should look like
green cotton instead of white.

Hope it works for you!
