melafix are not working. Why? My goldfish had ick for a long time and she had popeye before but I got rid of it with maracyn and maracyn 2. This time nothing is working. I used Maracyn, Maracyn 2 and Melafix but nothings working. I also used General Cure but nothing has worked. I read something about Gas Bubble but I'm at a lost. I can't find anti bacterial fish food so i soaked a few of her food in melafix. She's stills swimming and eating but her eye looks ridiculous. I've had her for 3 years and she's in a 10 gallon tank with a whisper 20 gallon filtration.
