Mollie with fungal "eye" infection

Hey everyone

At the moment I have a young black female molly, pregnant with her first batch of fry. I noticed over christmas that it looked like she had knocked her eye or the point just above her right eye, which took on a slightly discoloured appearance, kind of like a grey patch. I didnt treat her or the tank at the time, as I couldnt see any other symptoms and she was still happy and healthy. This last week (2 and a half months later) she has developed a fuzzy white spot at the same location. It looks a bit like its growing at the point the top of her eye meets her head. Im assuming its a secondary bacterial infection, so started treating with melafix and pimafix. I ran the course of treatment and it went away. The day after I finished the treatment however it came back and dosnt seem to be reacting to the pimafix or melafix anymore. I put her in an isolation tank 22l, with a tablespoon of salt, and am running the pimafix at the same time.

anyone have any other suggestions?
