Larry,
I haven't kept up with this thread in its entirety, sorry... so I don't know what other fish are in the tank? If you can treat in quarantine, the most effective med for treating fungal infections in rainbows is a medication called Spectrogram that isn't made anymore. The good news is that I know the ingredients and can even offer a reliable place online to get them. Kanamycin and Nitrofurazone are the 2 ingredients/med you need. Dose both meds according to directions, at same time. These 2 are safe to mix.
This is not a safe combination for all fish, so please be very careful what species you expose to this med combo.
Best of luck to you!

Well, I dosed the tank with Maroxy for the prescribed 5 days. There's
been no change. The rainbow still has the cottony (or feathery) stuff
on one gill. No more, no less. It doesn't seem to be bothering him and
none of the others have caught it (yet), but I sure would like to cure
it. Guess I'll try the Pimafix next
I couldn't find anything else it could be other than fungus in the books
I have, but does anyone have suggestions on other possibilities?
