This past month I haven't had the time to do all the regular water changes on my discus tank as I normally do, I did maybe a quarter of them. Well, one of my chocolate gouramis got this infection above its eye. I almost thought it was a fungus, but there are some literatures that say what looks like a fungus is actually a bacteria. I treated it with penicillan and Melafix but it just got worse and the fish died. I figured this was the end of that and have stepped up my water changes, but now one of my discus has a weird thing on its side. At first I thought it was a little peice of poly floss stuck to a scale, but after thinking about it I noticed a small injury to that same scale a day earlier. I've dosed the tank with tetracycline for a mouth fungus on my rainbow, but the small spot on the side of the discus is only getting bigger, now it is a white patch.
Now I know to always, always keep up on my water changes in this tank, but what med should I use to get rid of this pathogen? Any ideas and help is greatly appreciated.
