Flexibacter Infection On A Swordtail

[confusion]

I've been fighting a flexibacter infection on a swordtail (the last one alive from the infection). I have had her on maracyn for 3 days now, but someone on another forum suggested putting her on maracyn two, as well. I started maracyn two treatment today.

She seemed to be doing better up to this morning, when she completely ignored her food. That's what prompted me to ask around and find out about the maracyn two. She's not eating, but she's being more or less social with my other new swordtails. The others are eating just fine.

She has a fairly large white lesion on one side of her - the flexibacter infection as I've come to learn. She more or less just stays in one spot at the top of the tank.

I added 2tbsp to the 10 gallon quarentine tank. The stats are:
temp: 81F
ph: 6.4
ammonia: 0ppm (can't stay there for long)
nitrate: 0ppm
nitrite: 0ppm
Is there anything else I should be doing for her? I know she's a fairly cheap fish, and she pretty much came this way, but curing this fish has become a mission for me

Thanks!

Done the right thing adding the maracyn two as you need both maracyn one and two to fight columnaris, there is a stronger med you could use but it will wipe the bacteria colony out in your filter, its called tetracycline.
Salt baths are good on columnaris as the desease hates salt.
