Help for Bella

[Go Go Goby]

Hi, I am wondering if someone can offer suggestions for ID and treatment for my Bella Angelfish. She has been in my 10 gallon QT tank for almost 2 weeks. I could not see her through the bag when she was shipped to me but after acclimation I noticed she had pop eye in both eyes the next day. I started melafix immediately and one eye returned to normal in about 2 days. The other eye is still enlarged and I think there is a small bubble on the underside of it. She didn't eat initially but started eating 4-5 days later and her appetite has been very good. She is visual currently. There is a citron clown goby in the same tank who has no symptoms and eating great. There are two filter pumps on the tank and all carbon is removed. I have done two partial water changes on this tank. Somewhere in the middle of this I noticed a couple of white spots on her dorsal fin and one on her tail. What should I do to help heal Bella?

It may be worth giving the fish a 5 min FW Dip to see if flukes are present.

I can’t see a ton in the pic I do see some spots on fins as well. Could be flukes or lympho there.

Thanks for your response. I think it is probably lymphocystis too and a small amount. I take it as a positive she's eating and her immune system will improve. I will give her a dip today to see what happens.

Update: Bella is doing great! Her fins are clear and she's eating like a .She's a beauty. The melafix fixed her popeye. I did do the freshwater dip for the lymphocystis looking stuff. I am wondering if her immune system was depressed since she initially wasn't eating when I got her. She is completely normal now!
