Pop eye + Uronema?

[nden]

One of the Allen's Damsel exhibiting pop eye and what seems to be Uronema? Or is it from being picked on from the others? Just need confirmation on this. See attached.

Fifth day in quarantine.

Has been eating Fish Frenzy medicated with General Cure + Focus + Selcon + Garlic Guard.

Second day of therapeutic Copper Power. Dosed Metroplex into water column yesterday.

Thanks for the help.

Definitely see the pop eye but not sure about Uronema. I see the spot on him up high but that looks like aggression to me. To be safe dose metro at two scoops per 10G and feed him Metro also for 14 days or until symptoms subside. I see you already have copper running so Keep an eye on that spot, Uronema usually presents more like a sore versus a pin point. Let’s see what the Uronema experts say. @HotRocks @4FordFamily

For the pop eye, do I let it run it's course? Assuming it'll clear up on it's own with the medicated food + Metroplex dosing?

It *could* be the start of uronema or it could be nips from the other damsels. I think you are on the right track with the current treatment. As mentioned above, make sure you are using the higher dosage of metroplex, 2 scoops per 10 gallons... just in case. And continue with copper.

For the eye, you can dose plain epsom salt for swelling. 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons. I’d also consider starting an antibiotic. Erythromycin is generally the go to for eye infections, but since you are already using the metroplex I think I’d lean towards kanaplex + metroplex+ furan-2. There is a chance the body lesions could be bacterial as well, this would cover all your bases.

For KanaPlex and Furan-2, do I do package dosing?

Yes

Thank you. As I'm dosing this during the copper stage, after the 14-days and move to a sterile qt after, would I still need to do the suggested, two rounds of General Cure in the water column?

Sorry for all the questions, but I already learned my lesson by not quarantining my earlier fish. Familial pressure got the best of me... Just want to get it right this time around.
