white spot, fungus = methylene blue (any brand).
cloudy eyes, hole in head, fin rot = japanese powder (think this is an antibiotic belonging to the furazone group), which is useful for gram +ve and gram-ve bacteria and others as well. sometimes hole in head can also use metronidazole. i use some salt in all of the above. imho. cheers. |
