Hi all,
I've been trying to treat my Angel Ram for several weeks now for Popeye and his eye hasn't gotten any better. I'm not 100% sure its Popeye but I have a posted a picture to help get verification. For clarification only 1 eye is swollen. And it has tons of pus(?) around it.
He is currently in a 2 gallon quarantine tank and I have treated him twice with Melafix when he was still in his 20 gallon tank. Then I put him in the quarantine tank and treated him with Maracyn One and Epsom Salt (rate of 1Tbsp/5gallon).
Tank parameters:
pH: 8.5
Alkalinity: 720
Hardness: 150
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
Basically I'm all out of ideas on how to treat this and he still acts normal, but I fear it will only get worse and never better. What treatments/medicines do you suggest I try? His name is General RAAM and I really really care for him. He's a sweet and cool fish. Please help.
