Hey guys i am new and I have a issue that I cannot find a clear answer to. I was hoping you guys may please help my fish because I love him very much.
My green terror has a cotton white fungi in his pupil and has been there for a couple of weeks. We tried an antifungal remedy called Pimafix for 7 days and cleaned out the tank and said it was suppose to clear up but it just seemed to get worse. He hasn't got a loss of appetite or is bloating or has any other fungal marks anywhere on his body but he has been gasping. He doesn't have any fish tank mates because he eats them. Please, I need help because I have run out of ways to treat my Green Terror.
 
See if you can post a pic of the fishes eye.
The pima fix doesn't count as a real med treatment IMO..It is like Bactine on a scratch.. Antiseptic at best..
Does the fungus look fuzzy or just a whitish patch.. Fungus usually grows on injuries getting infected and dead skin.. A whitish patch [not fuzzy] is more likely bacterial..
Welcome.
 
Here is a photo of his left eye with the clouded pupil.

I can't determine if the growth is cotton-like or a translucent film. If it's cotton-like, then it might be Saproleonia Fungus. Treat with Copper Safe, or Seachems, Cupramine.
If the growth is translucent then it might be a Gram Negative Bacterial infection. Treat with
Kanamycin or Gentamycin.
Good luck. Green Terrors are one of my favorites.
 
Thank you so very much for your advice I really appreciate it.
