My black moor, Pistachio, has an extremely swollen eye with a cloudy lump in it. He also seems to have fin rot. It has been going on for over two months now (I think I originally posted about him back in Feb.) and he has shown no improvement despite a round of melafix and later a round of Marcryn II. I have been feeding an antibacterial pellet food all week, but so far no luck with that either. Should I repeat one of these Mede? Try something different? I have salt, tetracycline, prazi-pro, and jungle fungus clear tabs on hand but am willing to track down anything that would work! Photo and Other info below: Test Results for the Following: Ammonia Level: 0ppm Nitrite Level: 0ppm Nitrate level: 0-5ppm Other Required Info: Brand of test-kit used and whether strips or drops? API drops Water temperature? 72F Tank size (how many gals.) and how long has it been running? 29gallon, ~1 year What is the name and "size of the filter"(s)? Penguin Biowheel 350 also a small sponge filter How often do you change the water and how much? 10-15% every three days How many days ago was the last water change and how much did you change? Today, ~15% How many fish in the tank and their size? 1 fantail and 1 black moor, bodies ~2-3 inches long What kind of water additives or conditioners? prime What do you feed your fish and how often? Omega One small pellets, 2-3 times daily Supplemental veggies ~once a week Any new fish added to the tank? no Any medications added to the tank? not currently List entire medication/treatment history for fish and tank. One round of Prazi about 6 months ago, one round of melafix about two months ago, one round of Marcryn II about one month ago, currently feeding antibacterial food. Any unusual findings on the fish such as "grains of salt," bloody streaks, frayed fins or fungus? frayed/ragged fins, bulging eye with small cloudy bubble in it, white specks which I believe are breeding stars on gills and front fins Any unusual behavior like staying at the bottom, not eating, etc.? No change in appetite, occasional bottom sitting.
