What would you guys suggest for the following symptoms- one mildly clouded eye, 1/4" diameter white spots on fins that become holes in the fin, and a few whiteish bumps ( about the size of a small pea).
Her fins are not clamped and she is eating fairly well. She is in a 10g hospital tank in which Ive been using Melafix for a week with no results. Last night I dosed her with Jungle Fungus Clear.
I geuss Im lucky to not have alot of experience on this subject so any advice would be helpful.
I forgot to mention that its a female C. kraussii(not my breeder but a back up) thats about 5" long.
Thanks guys

sounds like possible velvet. try treating it with anti-parasite meds & and some salt. maybe xblade might have other ideas.

Sounds like a bacterial infection IMO (pics would help)
Possibly Columnaris .Check for mouth and anal vent sores.
I would treat with Maracyn and Maracyn Two for at least 10 days

Thanks guys, so you think I should get rid of the fungus clear(water changes and carbon,polyfilter) and go with Maracyn?
Do you guys have a good link that deals with bacterial infections, fungals and parasites, or fish disease in general. If there one thing that Im lacking in fishkeeping it would be that.

nah i don't have many ideas on illnesses. i've never seem to get them, besides a casual ick every few years.

Thanks for the link xblade,
She is the same. Im going to go through that link you posted to see what she really has. I think Im going to clean everything and take all the water out and start again. I can use gravel, media and a sponge filter from other tanks so it will be instantly cycled.
