Hi all, I have a powder blue tang that unfortunately has a very bad eye infection on its right eye. It is popped out and looks like some fungal infection on the bottom of it. I currenty have it in a small hospital tank and treating it with Maracyn 2 for the past three days. It does not seem to have improved at all. It actually looks more bulged out then three days ago. Also, I think it might already be blind in that eye since I can see that it will not swim away if I bring my hand on that side of the tank. I have also treated it with some epsom salt as well but the swelling does not seem to help either. It does have some ich on it. I plan to finish the 5 days worth of antibiotic and then treat it for ich with copper wether the eye gets better or not.
If there is any suggestions on what else I can do for him please let me know.
Thanks..

Check out the disease thread for "popeye" There's a lot of excellent information in those threads. Good luck,... it sounds like you are trying your best to save it.
