Noticed my watchman goby has white blotches on both sides behind his dorsal fin.  Researched that it looks like fungal infection.  He doesn't seem to be much different other than his dorsal fins aren't up all the time.

 

Any ideas and treathment?

Very well could be.  Any chance of setting up a hospital tank for it?  It could be as simple as a bucket with a heater and filter (a biofilter is really the main obstacle).  Maybe try something like ParaGuard.

I'm thinking doing a siphon right from DT since I changed the water 2 days ago.  Refill DT with new water like a water change.  Call it a day. Lol

 

How do you feel about the melafix and pumafix by api?

Melafix and Pimafix are more effectively used with freshwater fish than marine. I would QT, and treat with a proper antibiotic such as Kanaplex which also has antifungal properties.
