I've posted this prolem several times, and have tried just about everything. I have pics now, there not so great, but it's a start. Thanks for all the help so far, this just has me stumped.
OK, a little history. This bi-color pseudo has had this look off and on for 2.5 months now, and it's geting worse. We had a power outage. (6days no power, no lights, no heat) He first showed signs of a problem when the power came back on. Started with blotching color and scratching. I treated with metrodiazonal in the food for a week. Seemed to clear up. Came back about 7 days later. Treated again. Came back, only less. This process contiuned for a month. Then one of my other fish showed signs of ich. Moved everybody to Hypo. 3 weeks in now. I treated everybody with Maracyn 2, with good resaults so far.
During the move to hypo the bi-color had a bad expirence (I blame myself, so don't bash me) First he got caught in a rock, and I didn't realize. He got pretty banged up. The when I put him in a QT tank with the trigger, the trigger decided to take a bite. I pull him out quick, but he still had a chunk missing. This has since healed, But these patches that he had before are getting larger.
Shows no signs of heavy breathing.
What should I do next? I'm sure the stress of all this has not helped the situation. I just don't know what to treat with? Iodine,Maroxy, More Maracyn 2, More Metrodiazonal? Or just let it be. This is one tough fish.
Thanks for the time, and here are the pics. The darker color is his normal color, and the patches are not fuzzy or cotton like.
