Was looking at Bongo a few minutes ago, and noticed she seems to be getting something. I noticed a couple wounds on one side couple days ago, but figured they were scratches from her laying eggs on the rocks, and threw in some melafix like normal. Well, the wounds seem a bit better, but now I noticed on her other side, spots that are starting to look cloudy-white, possibly fungus. Here's a couple pics.

Any ideas? What should I treat her with, I wanna pick something up after work tomorrow. She's had infected wounds before, and I've always used Maracyn 2 to clear it up, should I try that again?
 
I've been giving her melafix, doesn't seem to be doing anything. I picked up Maracyn 2 today, which has worked well at curing her bacterical infections in the past. She seems prone to them.
 
The easiest way would be to give frequent large water changes. Melafix is good. Primafix (new product, same company) is better. I have had a lot of luck with Kanamyacin for serious infections should it go that far.
For what it's worth, the "white" looks like it's just a lack of scales where they were rubbed off.

Good luck. Keep that Trimac healthy. :)
