Hey everyone, I'm back with more bicher concerns.
I bought a bicher with popeye earlier this week, and need some guidance on helping her heal. Currently, I have her in a 10 gallon hospital tank running a sponge filter.
Water parameters are:
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
0 nitrate
8.4 ph
78 farenheit
I've started treatment using kanaplex and daily 15 min Epsom salt baths, with 100% water change every two days (before each dosage of kanaplex). She is currently on her second dosage of kanaplex (day 4 of treatment).
Atm, she has not shown any response to the treatment. The Popeye is still as bad as before.
Should I put her through a treatment of erythromycin after finishing the kanaplex?
I'm somewhat lost tbh... I have never seen a bicher with full blown popeye before.
This is how bad the Popeye is
Edit: I forgot to mention, the front of her mouth is a somewhat reddish color as well.
