Furan2 vs Nitrofuracin, which?

[skene]

Treating a fish that's showing signs of raised scales with white patches that are slowly developing into red open sores. Is this a bacterial infection?

If so, which would you recommend between Furan 2 and Nitrofuracin Green?

I've used Furan 2. It makes water yellow and requires water changes in between dosing and after treatment. I switched to Maracyn 2. Water is cloudy for 2 days then clears up. No water changes required until after treatment is over to remove medication. No experience with Nitrofuracin

Thanks for sharing, CoralsAddiction.

From what I read on searched RC threads, NG sounds much gentler. I've used NG in the past to successfully treat mouth rot but have limited experience with F2. I'm trying to determine if one is more preferred targeting specific symptoms in a case like mine (white patch / open sores) or if either one will do the job.

In have use nitrofuracin green and it's gentle on fish. I am using it right now during ttm.
