What should I treat with?

[pecan2phat]

I picked up a Conspic and she has the following symptoms:

slight clouding in both eyes
one swimming fin clamped
heavy breathing but not overly so

Body is clean of any visible sores or parasites.

Should I start with Maracyn or Maracyn II? Should I use a penicillian based medication?

Will any of the meds on the market not destroy the biological filter in the QT/hospital tank?

Thanks.

I started tonight with Prazi-Pro (praziquantel) in case it is flukes or tapeworms in the gills. I see some redness directly behind the swimming fins on the body near the gill openings.

Any suggestions and I will change the treatment, but I didn't want to do nothing for now.

its the one that smells like vicks vapor rub. I would do it in a seperate tank if you have corals. processes it with the same method as a fresh water dip.

this med. has a better results than those medicine.

you can also lower your salinity to 1.17 - 1.014 it will help reduce the bacterial infection to continue.

try to keep your temp at 75 to 77 degrees. give it 3 days and the fish should do will
