Blister on Eyes?

[TBA]

I thought I had a case of ick a while back when my cichlids starting flashing like something was bothering them. I used Malachite Green solution (Konder? or something) purchased at Petsmart, however after 15 days of use (following the directions) I still had some fish flashing (however no white spots). I noticed one of my fish had developed a blister like item on its eye. I tried Maracyn's Coppersafe and they quite flashing and the fish with the blister got better.

Yesterday I noticed they started flashing again (no white spots) and another fish has a blister on its eye. There are no visual signs of parasite, however something's getting at them.

I went to my lfs, however they didn't have Coppersafe so I'm stuck with a debate of whether to bother with the Ick treatment or wait and get some Coppersafe somewhere else. Any suggestions?

A blister sounds like you may be referring to popeye, which is a bacterial infection that frequently results from poor water conditions (though the stress of a severe ich infection could be the trigger as well). Perform several water changes, and treat the affected fish with maracyn (a hospital tank is a good idea).
