I have had success with treating other FW fish with Mela-fix, not discus though it has a Jack Watley endorsment on the bottle.
Any idea what caused the infection?

Hi, MelaFix will not help popeye. You need to treat with Kanamycin, or Erythromycin and Oxytetracycline together -- ASAP. Lots of aeration in a quarantine tank, low temp (82 degrees), keep the lights on.
