One of my cories has a fungus around his eye. I am assuming that this is because I have the temperatures elevated to eradicate ich, and the warm environment fostered this fungal growth (perhaps he had an abrasion or something). Anyway, I added melafix as directed and I was thinking the melafix might help with the ich treatment, since I can't put salt in with my plants, but then I got to thinking, it is a natural treatment but it does have antibacterial properties. Is this going to kill my nitrifying bacteria?
