Clown Loach With Velvet And Torn Fins

[lilfishie]

well i have been treating my community tank with a velvet treatment for a week but have sadly lost my 3 cardinals and my two special baby (well juvi) plecs. today my clown has been stuggling to swim so i have got her now in a plastic box that holds roughly 2 gallons, i have added a drop of methylene blue, ,is there anything else i can do to hopefully make her well again? i really don't want to loose any more fish in 1 week, its just to heart breaking
Thanks for any advice it is greatly appreciated

Oh and i am going away tomorrow for the weekend so the sooner i know the better for her, i am going to spend the whole weekend worrying

Sorry for your losses.
Velvet harder and longer to get rid of then whitespot.
Did you half dose with the velvet med as the tetra's and scaless fish might not be handling the med to well.
Have you raised temp and increase aeration in the tank.

yes only did half the meds, what should i raise the temp to? it is currently 26/7
