bacterial infection?

Possibly bacterial. It was hard to see in video.

I'd recommend Kanaplex + Sulfaplex + Furan-2. Sulfaplex works best for oral infections. Or you could use NFG if you have it on hand.

Is it possible to mix Kanaplex + Sulfaplex in food together with focus? Both clowns still eat like crazy so was wondering if I can just put it in the food. I've only ever mix one of the seachem meds one at a time with focus (e.g. - Metro + Focus).

It will be much more effective dosed in the water for what you are dealing with here.

Their mouths have turn red now [emoji79]. They are still eating. I don’t think I’ll get sulfaplex that fast with the holidays [emoji24]

I noticed Humblefish mention Neoplex + Sulfaplex as a good alternative to Kanaplex + Furan-2. I'm having a hard time finding Furan-2. I have Neoplex on hand and Sulfaplex I'm getting from the LFS tomorrow.

NFG I don't have and the shipping is a little too long for comfort at the moment.

Use what you've got, hope for the best.

Quick update. The redness on their mouths is going away. It looks like the combo of Suflaplex + Neoplex is working. They have been eating throughout treatment.
