tiger barbs

[theadvocat]

I have a 72g bow-front with Rosy and Tiger Barbs. A couple of days ago
I noticed that one tiger barb has a white film over both eyes, so I
treated yesterday with fungus eliminator. Today I noticed that a
different tiger barb has protruding eyes, very noticeable. I picked up
"Mardel" Maracyn to treat popeye. But can I mix the two meds? If not,
what do I do? And will the Maracyn take care of the eye fungus? I have
an Emperor 300 bio-wheel filter and my tank is fairly new and there
has been a bacterial bloom for the past few days, which is normal for
a new tank is what I have read. Please help!!

If at all possible, quarantine the affected fish and treat them there.
With the tank being fairly new it will cause a major hit to your
biological filter. As far as mixing the two meds, I'd wait 'til you
finish the first treatment.
