My clown knife and silver arro have been sick for a while now. At first all that was apparent was cloudy stuff on the eyes, so I tried melfix which did nothing. Then a few days later the clown knife had fungus all over his body and the eye cloud so I tried Pimafix and within minutes the fungus started coming off and after the week of treatment they all looked fine. Now its been a week or so and the fungus and eye cloud are back and much worse this time. The LFS said to try treating with ICH-X. The knifefish actually died this morning and im worried about my silver and florida gar. Please tell me wuts happening.
 
I would treat with a broad spectrum antibiotic and a true antifungus agent.
 
Binox or a combination of maracyn and maracyn 2 would be a cood choice.
A note for the future, knifefish tend to be sensitive to both formalin and malachite green (both found in ICH-X)
