aymenz Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi guys, It has been along time since my last post, I am back and unfortunately with a problem that I cannot seem to treat. One of my Eletric blue Ahli display male had a fight with a male Taiwan reef and injured his eye. It has been a week since I have isolated him into a quarantine tank, and been treating him with Epsom salt, sea salt and melafix, with 80% water change every 2 days... however the symptoms seems to worsen rather then get better, as after moving him to the quarantine tank, the eye was not as swollen and it did not have fungus or pus. Could anyone please help me here, should I resort to a fungus medicine or antibiotics? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 @aymenz I would suggest bagging him up and take a trip to Labyrinth Andrew could take a scaping on se what comes up under the microscope that way you would have abetter idea of what is going on and how to treat it just give Andrew a call 8068 4853 to work out a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Well that could be a problem I'm guessing it could be secondary bacterial but unless you can figure that out you can recommend a treatment metronidazole is used to treat hole in the head and may work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aymenz Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Thanks mate, If I go with Metro, how long should I treat for and what would be the recommended dose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aymenz Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Quick update mates, I have tried maracyn 2 and kanaplex, however I believe they arrived a bit late for the treatment to work, ended up loosing this beautiful fish. Thanks for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
