Thank you.

Is this a worm?

Sorry my mistake the nitrite is 0. Nitrate is 5.0. Alkalinity is 80. Today they all seem happier except for 2 of the gouramis eyes look worse and clamped fins. 1 of the severums has a white spot on his eye and it's slightly bulging but does not look severe. Should I treat the Popeye?

Hardness 50 Free Chlor. 0 Nitrate 0 Nitrite 5.0 Coronation 40 All. 80 Ph 7.8 Ammonia 0

Well established tank of 3 years. 2 red spotted severum 4 gourami 1 silver dollar 3 angels 1 pleco 1 apple snail The gouramis have red sores and 2 have Popeye. The severum have blurry edged white spots only on pectoral fins. Not defined edges like ich. 1 severum has 1 Popeye. I'm not sure what to treat first. Or do I use all the meds. I believe my problem started with either salt buildup. A few months ago I started adding salt at water changes. Not realizing only had to treat new water. The ph is now 8.0.. I've been doing 25% water change every 2 or 3 days not wanting to drastically change the ph. My grandsons added a barnacle they found on the beach. I have taken this out it was in there about 2 weeks. I've purchased the med trio. I purchased the large package of the maracyn and paraclense. I've read to add 1 pkg for 10 gal ,but I didn't purchase the packages and read not to follow directions on the package. Thanks! Mary
