Ok. So he’s been dosed for 6 days. Lip not as bad but he now he has a very large sore below his right eye and two white bumps forming on the front base of his hump. Any suggestions. I’m getting worried.

Can get some methylene blue on a qtip and dab the area in question. Then place the fish back in the tank.

Hi some questions to start: how is he acting? Still eating? When this happened was he in a tank by himself? Where is he now? Water parameters?

He is in a 75gl by himself. He is slow moving. Hangs in the lower corner of his tank. Still eating but not much. Just a small nibble of his pellet. I’ve dropped temp from 82 to 78 and treated 5days with Nitrofurazone and Erythromycin as directed by my LFS. Water is 0ppm ammonia and nitrite. Nitrate is less than 5ppm and Ph is 8.2

pH is a bit high but probably not the issue. Any improvement on the medication?

The lip swelling went down for a day or two. But he has developed other issues. He now has the the white cotton thing back on his lower lip and has developed a large sore on the bottom of his right eye and has 2 small white bumps presenting on the front lower base of his Hump. See attached pics. The clear water pics are from when this first started. Then green hued ones are from tonight after medicating.

without doing diagnostics it is always hard to tell. At this point I would consider treating his tank with metro (even better if you can get him to eat it) and prazi. Also considering doing methylene blue dibs if you can
