frogfish problem

[lonsalt]

I have a Frogfish (striated?) a month after purchasing the frogfish it has developed a white cloud across the bridge of it's eyes, lips, and a spot on it's back, completely blocking 1 eye. She seems to have stopped eating. The cloud does not seem to be getting worse or better. Any suggestions?

Do you have a picture or two?

Here she is, in a hospital tank recommended by retailer. Maybe she is eating because she seems to be swimming around quite a bit in this tank.

Not clear enough for me to see the issue. However frogfish don't really swim around. As ambush predators, they will wait until food comes by, or if it the kind with a lure for an antenae, it will "hunt" if food is in the area.

Sounds like a bacterial infection. I would treat with Erythomyacin. API sells one version or perhaps the vet could write a script. It is the same as people use just in powder form.
