Hmm, if it were me I would go ahead and do it to ensure that none of it survives in the tank or filter to reinfect. It's up to you though.

I wasn't positive myself, since there are several infections that can cause white mouth. Do you have an idea of what it might have been PP?

I don't know what it could have been...but his progress from last night astounds me! It's amazing what a good water change can do!

Manson ate a big juicy earthworm for the very first time tonight. The first bite scared the walrus out of him! The worm wiggled really hard and Manson shot off to hide...he immediately attacked again and showed no mercy...the worm didn't stand a chance!

I'm really not up much on diseases but my guess is the wood did something really baaaaad to the water. Now that you have removed the root of the problem, & are using the natural antibiotics with large WC, he is responding well. Great comeback!
