Copper Band Butterfly Bacteria Infection?

[AaaRr]

My CBB has been in QT for 7 days now and started to show signs of what I believe is a bacteria infection. His two pectoral fins started turn black on the tip and almost rot a way.

Does he have a bacteria infection? If so I am planning on treating with Kanaplex, Metroplex and Furan-2. Is this the correct treatment?

Please let me know if this is the correct path and what he has?

That will work, but I prefer and keep on hand NFG powder just for those beautiful fish. It works wonders with them.

Agree and yes I think you’ve chosen the correct course of action.

Thank you @4FordFamily and @Big G. I do not have any NFG powder on hand. I will order some. Most likely best to start treatment with what I have on hand right away. However, once I get the NFG should I switch to NFG? Is this harmful switching treatments half way through?

You’ll be fine switching but if the “trifecta” (kana metro and furan 2) appear to be working I’d just stay the course.

I give up. What is NFG powder? Is that like Johnsons Baby Powder? I never use medications and am very stupid when it comes to any medication that came out less than half a century ago.
But I want to learn.

Thanks, I used to use that in fresh water.
