StressCoat + is an excellent water conditioner and promotes a healthy slime coat, but it will likely not treat either a bacterial or fungal infection effectively. Maracyn or Furan 2 are excellent antibiotics. Methylene blue at half the dose used for fish can be used as a soak to treat fungal infection. Do not use either in the main tank to preserve beneficial bacterial populations in the substrate and filter.
