Flower Horn eye problems

[gmax]

Hey All,

I have a red dragon flowerhorn.
I have been having trouble with his left eye. It has cotton look alike object starts to grow on around it. He doesn't have any loss of
appetite and eats well.
Anybody know what it this disease and how to treat it..

How long has it been like this?

Looks more like he just scraped himself on something than a disease.

it's not a scrape.


But I think I cured this with Pimafix before while all other meds I tried did not work at all while it went from exactly like this to flesh eating and ate a dent under my fish's eye.. But Pimafix is Fungus med.

it's gonna start eating the flesh later if you dont take care of it now.

these FHs ae very sensitive yo you must keep water clean.

If you dont believe that Pimafix is the key then go try other meds. I think I bought like 3-4 different kinds of meds but they all failed except Pimafix. That's from experience.

I have used Pimafix and Melafix which have worked on some infections yet not on others. Another medication that has really good reviews is "Bacta". This is a medication that many flower horn owners swear by. Do you and your fish a favor and gets some meds on stand by, ready in case his eye gets any worse then you can immediately treat him. Good luck and keep us posted.
