Up date on my fish.. Help

[lewis.maryann08]

I had some people on here tell me to treat them with ..
Furan-2
SulfaPlex
KanaPlex
And my fish dont seem to be getting better so I took some pictures now to share to see if anyone can tell what they have they are staying in the bubbles so hard to get a clear picture..
Do you think I need to treat them with something else?
They have been through copper safe and Prazipro so I dont know what it could be i have to different qt tanks and the other tank everyone is active and eating no sign of anything.

Hard to tell from the pictures. Can we start at the beginning? What symptoms are you seeing?

The Anthias has a big pimpul on his lip

Can you tell us about your copper treatment: how long, at what dose, how tested?

 

[lewis.maryann08]

Do you think I just need to stop treating them?

How were you testing the level of copper?

 

[lewis.maryann08]

With a API copper test

So here's the story on Copper Safe and the API copper test kit. There have been some problems this past year with the strength of the Copper Safe varying considerably from bottle to bottle. And the API copper test kit is incredibly inaccurate.
We've been recommending using Copper Power (the blue one) as the dosage is consistent and the dosage on the bottle is pretty accurate. For measuring/checking the copper level we've been recommending the use of the Hanna High Level Copper Checker. It's very accurate, so you will know when you have reached the therapeutic level with very high confidence. Range is 1.5 ppm to 2.0 ppm. I like to split the difference and try to stay at 1.75ppm.
The fact that you still have some white spots may indicate that the therapeutic level may have not been maintained consistently for the 30 days for ich/velvet.

Agree. How long have you been treating with antibiotics? The first photo of the Anthias almost looks like brook, but it’s blurry and I can’t be sure.

Metroplex should clear up brook in 3-6 days or so pretty noticeably which is why I ask.
