Definitely a bacterial infection.

How long has the fish been in therapeutic copper?

NFG would be the best to use, but don't recommend adding to copper.

If you are early in copper treatment, I would add nitrofurazone (Furan-2) and kanamycin (Kanaplex) to the mix.

My worries is the top of its head is where the brain is.

I once overdosed Iodine and my Yellows brain had a brown spot where you Yellows red starts over the eye.

Obviously I cooked my Yellows brain to death. It was sad. Felt guilt for a long time....

Advice? Idk what to say
