Feels like Im chasing my tail!

So I have this sick clown that was about dead back in the beginning of last December. I saved her with a 2 week Paraguard treatment and proper maintenance. She never fully recovered and noticed things started going downhill hill again. Decided to do a full course General cure treatment last week and now she has major discoloration. Fish is still eating but not aggressively. Still swiming but will lay on the bed for long periods of time. I'm starting to think that I didn't do the treatment properly. I followed the directions on both paraguard and GC but not sure I ran it long enough. Any advice on what I should do next?

Thanks

It looks like Brook to me:

10 days of Metroplex should do the trick.

Yes I agree and was hoping the GC would take care of the problem. Do you think I could just use GC again but for a longer interval vs getting Metroplex? I have no problem getting metroplex but I see it's just Metronidazole like GC minus the Praziquantel. The thread you posted may answer this question, so I'll be sure to check it out thanks.

It is straight metronidazole. That is what you want. Dosing GC every other day for 10-14 days would likely lead to a toxic buildup of praziquantel, which you don't want.

Metroplex is on the way, should be here Tuesday. Thanks for the help Hotrocks.
