Tank Parameters are A:0 N:0 N:20 I do 2 water changes a week about 30-40% i also have a quick vac pro that I use on both water change days and usually one extra day. I have limited access to meds in this area though. I have a Kit as Follows: Salt, Quick Cure, Methylene blue, Kordan Rid Ich, Kordan rid fungus, Kanaplex, some leftover tetra lifeguard from a different tank, and melafix/pimafix. Based on those options any suggestions? i did a bath yesterday with salt and quick cure and it seemed to help some, but i dont know if its enough.
Help!! I do not know what this is.

Quick cure is for parasites, Kanaplex (Kenamycin) is a good broad spectrum antibiotic for gram negative bacteria and some gram positive bacteria. My suggestion is to try treating with the Kenaplex. I think you will see better results. However if after the prescribed course of treatment you do not see a marked improvement treat with the anti-parasitic. I'm not sure of the contradictions so unless you reasearch I would not recomend useing them together. The eye suggests an infection. I hope this helps please post results so we can further advise you if this is not effective.
Butterscotch is not in the Hospital tank. treating with kanaplex. will update photos/info in a few days. thanks all. please keep your fingers crossed.
Any improvement?
Just curious, if you took him out of the tank and gave him a a little "squeeze", would that white puss stuff ooze out of him?

some of the white is gone already( think the net to move him helped) he is still in the hospital tank and will be for a while. the kanaplex stuff says treat every 2 days for up to 6 days total. as of a few min. ago it seems to be getting better. no blood showing or dripping like before. thanks for your concerns ill try to get a good pic up tomorrow morning for the 24h update. hope this works.
woke up this morning to my girlfriend yelling at me... butterscotch didnt make it through the night. sadly though the spots seem to have healed a lot before he died. is it possible that his age was a factor? he is pretty old.
Sorry to hear that. He seemed to be improving but maybe it was too much for him. You tried your best and did what you could. If he was old it is entirely possibile it was more than he could handle.
