Clown with big white spot

[maxwell50]

Hello I got clown who has big one spot on its mouth. I had him for few months he’s been in hypo. Is it fungus or bacteria infection?

 

[Hitman]

Bacteria infection.

Thank you . Any idea what I could do for treatment ?

@Humblefish @HotRocks @4FordFamily what antibiotics would be best?

 

[4FordFamily]

Nitrofuracin green administered in QT would be best, but Kanaplex, metroplex, and furan 2 together would work. Treat for 14 days in any event.

Ok I’m still new to medication. I have focus and metroplex on hand. Can I mix some into food? I don’t have kanaplex and furan 2 so do I need all 3 in order for the meds to work? I’m not sure if I can catch the fish without taking out rock. Is the meds reef safe?

Meds are not reef safe. I’d remove rocks and most water and remove the fish that way. Not fun, believe me I know!

Feeding metroplex isn’t likely to help, but it’s better than nothing for now. The wound really needs to have direct contact with the antibiotics in the water column in a quarantine.

You can source the other two antibiotics from amazon, that’s what I do

Infections are slow to correct in fish so if you wish to save the fish I’d move quickly

Do I dose all three at once?
