HELP! Betta is still sick...

[Apache]

Hi All, (I've cross posted on Emergencies forum)
I've posted before about my Betta, Ferdie, who had a bacterial infection. I put him on a combo of Maracyn and Maracyn 2 for the required 5 days. He improved steadily, has a good appetite and seems normal in behavior.

But yesterday (3-4 days from being off the meds), I noticed he now has pop-eye in one eye and still has the greyish body fungus on his head. So I started him back on Maracyn 2 this morning...

He shares a divided tank with another Betta, who seems to be doing fine.

What else can I do? Or is Ferdie getting too old to battel these illnesses? I want to do what's right by him, I don't want him to be uncomfortable, so I'm wondering if I should euthanize... Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I'd try to get him out the divided tank. You don't want infection spreading.

I would not euthanize unless it's a last LAST resort. And at this point, I'd definitley say no.
Get him out of that tank if it's at all possible, get him into some sparkly clean water and keep him on that Maracyn 2. he should pull through just fine if you just work on him.

He had a WC on Saturday, but the meds make the water look all cloudy. He is in great spirits (for a fish), eating well, behaving normally. Params are all good. Unfortunately, I don't have another tank to put him in...

Will do another WC today after work, add an airstone, keep up with the meds...

Use a jar or something similar to put him in, fungus can be contagious.
