Sabrina Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 My new 10 gal QT tank is finally set up. I added 4 Julii Cory cats. 1 was dead in the morning (was very pale when I got him, so not surprised). I noticed 2 more were pale with bulging eyes. I had dosed the tank with 1 tsp ich X and 1 packet of Maracyn. Brought in 2 more of the same fish (store exchanged for me). Had to go out and the 2 with the bad eyes were dead when I got home. They all came from the same source, so I want to treat for the popeye (assuming that’s what is was) since they all shared the same water and from same source. Is it safe to continue Maracyn treatment even though that 1 dose of ich x was put in? Is Maracyn the best treatment? Don’t have any pictures as the remaining fish look ok right now. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate temp 78-79, ph 7.2, very hard water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Yes you can continue to treat with maracyn the symptoms you describe with the bulging eyes is commonly caused by a bacterial infection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
