The Kanaplex would best be used in the baths (with Furan 2), while the Neomycin/Metronidazole combo in the food. Feeding would be twice per day. From the Fish Baths article: "For freshwater I would add Methylene Blue at double normal tank treatment strength (as per bottle instructions) then add salt (NaCl) at about 1 teaspoon per gallon."www.aquarium-pond-answers.com/2009/07/fish-baths.htmlCarl

I got all meds in maIL yesterday, starting baths tomorrow, on big gf with the white hazy eyes, do I swab with the mb before the 30 min medicated bath or swab after bath and put him back in tank, I tried to read on the swabs but don't know when to do it..so direct swab of mb before bath or after?

Do the swab before-hand for Methylene Blue. Then into the bath.

I believe you can give them all a try for a week and see how well they progress.

I also think there is an issue of high decomposing organics, while there is no direct evidence from what you have stated, the history and look of your gravel points to this being a possibility. For this I would consider swapping out about 25% of the gravel every six weeks starting asap

What is the best gravel I could get?? That will last. ..also been doing 1 bath at 30 minutes a day, would do 2 but I think it stressed them..after first bath some of the tail of my black moor just fell off..also can I swab their eyes with peroxide instead of mb, and still give bath in mb, kanaplex, metro and salt..to see if peroxide helps more..I have also been reading up and bio-balls don't seem to good, my canister has them, could I replace them with something else? And is there any way I could change gravel at one time, instead of every 4-6 weeks? , if I add something to replace some of the good bacteria I will loose in gravel??

I have been taking some gravel out but haven't replaced it yet, not sure about the gravel I bought, I want a gravel I don't have to replace again. .also if I could replace gravel all at once, maybe add matrix??

So should I take a 7 or 10 day Break from the baths & treat tank with prazipro? Then start baths again , also the prazipro can't be in the tank water for when I start baths again , right?

Yes, cease the baths. How long has a Medicated Wonder Shell been in the aquarium? If so, you might switch to a Regular AAP Wonder Shell to aid water paremeters I would run carbon in the aquarium for a day, change water and wait a few days. Then if no improvement, consider the Prazipro. Keep in mind, often after a "cure" is effected, it takes some time for the fish to heal completely, so do not been in too much worry to jump to another medication If you have been feeding the medicated food for 12 days, I would stop. While both the Medicated food and Prazipro can be used at the same time, considering all the meds dumped in on these fish, I would not do both at the same time. Getting the water parameters to 100% can often continue the healing this article might be helpful: www.fishbeginner.info/home/what-makes-a-healthy-aquarium-or-unhealthy/Carl

I did put in a wonder shell but took it out the next day, I was performing the baths and didn't know if all the meds would mix. I added a regular wonder shell instead, it's almost gone now, baths are done, so should I add medicated wonder shell now?

At this point I would just leave the Regular Wonder Shell You might add the Medicated WS in about a week as a follow up Please note that once used, even for a short time, the Medicated WS looses some of its potency Carl
