Hello!
Very new to the hobby, so please bear with me. I have a 20 gallon tank with 7 Black Neons and 5 Ember Tetras. All was well, tank was healthy until I added some plants with root tabs. Shortly after adding the plants, one of my Embers started getting these white growths(?) on his eyes. I have been treating the tank with Tetra Lifeguard (what my local pet store had in stock) for the last 5 days. It looked like he was getting better after the first couple of days, but checking on him now and his right eye has a growth again, as well as a white spot on his body. All other fish, up to this point, are fine. All other fish are eating without issue, but I haven't seen this guy eat in a few days. I have switched to feeding every other day while medicating. I haven't done a water change since the medication says to avoid doing it until day 6.
Water Parameters:
pH - Approximately 6
Ammonia - 1ppm (yes, I know this is high, it was 0 for WEEKS until the plants got put in, and was fine until yesterday while treating with the meds)
Nitrite - 0ppm
Nitrate - 5ppm
