I prefer treating sedentary cat species simply with salt and increased temp. I don't like using meds and have had some bad experiences using them on catfish.
I'd recommend doing a big water change to thin out the meds. Then, remove the rest by adding carbon to your filter. Afterward, you can add salt to the tank and increase the temp to the mid-80sF.
If you feel better using an antifungal agent, I'd recommend using methylene blue. It has antifungal properties but is safe enough to use on fish eggs.
