Manual Removal Of Cotton Mouth?

Hey,
I live in Australia, treatments for diseases are seriously limited. I have 6 bleeding heart tetras that are infected with cotton mouth. I've been using a sulphur treatment but it so far has only kept the growth from growing. They're in a 7g quarantine and I don't want them in there any longer. The last thing I could do is try and pick it off the fish's mouths. I'd sedate them with clove oil and then pick it off I'd then dab the area with a salt and tri-sulfa to stop infection and further prevent the disease from coming back. In the tank I'd use salt to prevent infection should I also use melafix? Has anyone had experience doing this? Is is hard to get off will it leave a wound?

Any advice much appreciated

 

That's not going to work, nor will preventing infection, its already infected. If I were you I would’ve treated the entire tank with trI sulfa from the start.

Hi,
The main tank isn't infected I bought these fish infected only to realise when I got home they had the disease, they have always been in the quarantine tank. The tri-sulfa isn't working I am trying to get rid of the disease, the infection I'm trying to prevent is from the wound that may occur when the growth is picked off. Thanks

 

You should’ve just returned then lol!

 

I agree I would try and return them
