which medication?

[johno4]

I tried the Disease FAQ but the link wont work. I have a small majestic juv. that has developed a cloudy eye and has started to also become a pop-eye. He is in my main display and has been eating fine for around 2 weeks with the problem. I cant tell if it is getting better or worse. Should I remove him and treat him with some medication or see if he will beat it on his own. I feed a mixture of foods twice a day soaked in garlic and selecon.

Thanks
John

I would try soaking its food in an antibiotic for starters. By the way, you don't have to remove the fish to do this.

which antibiotic?

 

[Steven Pro]

There are various ones you could try. My first choice would be a furan compound. Otherwise, minocycline or kanamycin are ok.

 

[johno4]

would I just take the antibiotic tablet and let it disolve in a cup with the food and some water?

 

[Steven Pro]

That or I have seen some liquid furan ones available.
