Got this baby ble tang last 2 weeks and after a few days he developed some ich. LFS suggested I wait it out if he's healthy and feed with garlic. I've been feeding nori and brine shrimps soaked in garlic and he's eating very well (a pig, actually).

Up until today, I noticed that his right eye was swollen. i did some reading and it seems like popeye from what I've read. Aside from brushing up against a rock, he seems to be doing fine.

Water quality is good with 0 N03.

Should I set up a hospital tank and treat him with copper and anti biotic? Should I be treating the other fish too? They're all doing very well. I have 2 O.clowns, 1 hi fin banded goby, 2 chromis, 1 yellow tang, 1 royal gramma, 1 red firefish.

Which antibiotics/meds should I be using? and where can i get them?

Thanks in advance.
