Are they still sick?

[AuroraDawn]

I am treating my platinum angelfish with canna Plex for hemorrhagic septicemia. I believe the bacteria came from a sponge that I had bought that was supposed to help me cycle my tank. I had used the same gravel in this tank having no idea that there was a problem with it. We had rinse the gravel thoroughly, but it seems like maybe some bacteria somehow survived and my fish got sick. I wasn’t sure if they were cured after the first round of canine Plex so I am doing a second round. I just gave them their first dose yesterday and I’m looking at them and I still feel like maybe they are still sick. I noticed what looks like a little pink along the body line on the upper fin and one or two of them have a little bit by the tail toward the body and a couple of them seem to have a sort of yellowish creamish color that is like on blow their mouth and kind of down a little bit. I am nude platinum’s, and I don’t recall exactly what they look like before they got sick. I just noticed that there was a darkening of the pink and the first round did help but I’m not sure if it cured it so I just wanted to show you some pictures to see what you guys thought. I have two more doses to go Wednesday and then Friday.

That Angel doesn't look to have Septicemia - bacteral infection.

The pink highlights are natural to that particular color morph.

The Angel does have tattered fins.
API's (Erythromycin) might be a better med choice.

IMO, Kanaplex really needs to be mixed in with food to be effective.

I would like to finish up the round of kanaplex as directed by Seachem.... can I add the Erythromycin or Macaryn (same ingredient) with the kanaplex, or should I wait, do a water change and use some active carbon for a day, and then go ahead with the EM?

Be a good idea to complete the Kanaplex treatment before dosing another medication.
