So this is the first time I’ve ever had an issue, and am lucky that the fish are in quarantine - but am pretty worried about the clown. First I thought it was ick and this morning started dosing coppersafe. When I got home, I see he definitely has bubble eye and now I think it looks more like a fungal infection, so I dosed maraxcyn oxy as well (I read they can be dosed together). The other fish in the 20 gal QT look fine.

A couple questions

(1) I had on hand these two medications, but had never had an issue before so they were preventative - are these the right ones? Best ones? I could go to a good LFS tomorrow and pick up something else if recommended. And please let me know if they should not be dosed together. I have enough water on hand to do a full tank change if I f’d

(2) should I set up another QT for the fish that still look good? Or just dose them too in the same tank? Or QT separately and dose separately?

(3) what else???

also, I know all of this info is on here in different threads and so I appreciate folks answering me as I was getting stressed by the number of threads.
