I tried the erythromycin, not sure if it worked or did anything. How long should I wait until it is safe for me to try it again?

Okay I’ll try to get some crushed coral. Hopefully, that’ll help. Would it be okay to use it as substrate instead of being in a media bag? Also, I only have smooth glass rocks and a ringed Anubis plant as decoration. By salt do you mean aquarium salt? If so, I do use that. Do you think the tank size might be a factor? I have a 10g with two gold fish, both of which are about about 3-5 inches long.

I’ve never used erythromycin before, so I just wanted to ask. A lot of people say to quarantine the fish when using it, but I have another fish in the tank with him who is also starting to show some deterioration. Can I keep them both in the same tank and use the erythromycin?

I’ve added an Anubis plant recently. However, this was added after their lips had started to deteriorate. I don’t put too much Hydrogens peroxide, I just dip a Q-Tip into a cap of it and try my best to apply onto his lips and repeat a few times when the water level is lower (during water change).

I don’t have an ammonia test yet, I’m still waiting for that to come in the mail. However, this is the current parameters after 5 days of water change. The temperature is usually around 71-73F.

My Jeffrey’s lips are deteriorating. I first got him from a carnival and he’s about 9 years old and 4 inches long. It first started with cotton mouth looking lips. I tried aquarium salt, pimafix, and hydrogen peroxide dabbed on the lips with a Q-tip, but nothing worked. It ended up getting worse. I just recently got a multiple water testing kit, which covers general hardness, nitrite, nitrate, free chlorine, carbonate, and ph. I’m waiting for my API® E.M. Erythromycin to arrive, so I can see if that’ll help. Does anyone know what I can do help him? I’m not sure I’m ready to let him go yet. His friend is starting to get it too, but hers is not as intense as his.
