Sickly EBJD

[Vethian]

This fish has been a handful. I've learned a lot just taking care of this fish. Digestive issues, Ulcers, and now this. It looks like s fungus growth on the eye, but I am not sure. Google hasnt been a good friend this morning...I am not sure how to treat this. Any suggestions?

I'd dose with Melafix and add salt to the tank.

I'd use Erythromycin along with these.

Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = 10...ish

I am on well water and i have Nitrates in the water. Just about 10ppm. I may convert the filtration to a small aquaponics setup. But, for now I have Pothos to help keep the nitrate under control.



If I have to do a treatment, I will move him to a hospital tank.

OK, hospital tank set up and dosed. Thank you for the info! I shall keep you informed on how it goes.
