My buettifokli is at the top of the tank with a swollen tougne, and a cloudy eye. what should i do!

 

[Cohazard]

Any pics? Water parameters? Temperature?

I would do a water change, perhaps add some salt, ask Jlnguyen74 how much I'm not sure.

You might want to go get some maracyn2 made by mardel in case you see redness or bleeding develop.

Sorry to hear this is happening to your beuttikoferi.

They fight different types of bacteria, some overlap on what they cure though, but yes both would be a good idea, they're only like $6-7 each.

Your nitrates are very low, what is your nitrite reading?
