Clownfish sick! Help please!!!

[truben1010]

I have had a female clownfish that I bought about a year ago. She recently got some white stuff on her eye while in my display tank. It didn’t look like Popeye, it was just something that was growing over her eye. It would start in one eye and then start on the other eye. I took her out from the display tank and put her in a qt tank. I treated with melafix and api fungus cure and it was completely gone. I put her after 6 weeks back in the dt and she got it again in 4 days. Now she is in a qt tank again and it has gotten pretty bad. I am trying the same meds, but they aren’t working? Any help?

the water is green because of the fungus cure medicine, and sorry i couldn’t get a clearer picture

I can't tell for sure from the photo, but it sounds like a reoccurring infection: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/tank-terror-bacterial-infections-in-the-reef-tank.22/

Her back tail fin looks a little torn too. And she’s not eating.

I would treat with a broad spectrum antibiotic instead of Melafix + API Fungus Cure.

Either:

1. Seachem Kanaplex + Furan-2 + Seachem Metroplex
2. Seachem Neoplex + Sulfaplex (or API Triple Sulfa)

Do I have to treat with all of them at the same time?

Yes Either the 3 meds in option 1 together OR the two meds in option 2 together.

Not necessarily, but combining them improves overall effectiveness.

Remember #1 or #2 ... NOT BOTH.
