He still seems to be breathing heavily but has been slightly more active as far as swimming...at least right after the dip and during the wc. Doesn't seem to be eating.
API ??
I stated earlier I only have access to general cure at the moment so that's what I'm using. I'm going to get some prazipro next week and will probably follow up the second dose using that. Being a newer tank with very limited corals and inverts I'm not too worried about it. That was why I was just trying to clarify proper usage. I dosed 80% recommended. About 2 3/4 packs. Says use i pack per 10g. Thanks
I understand. Thats why I detailed it as it Can be confusing to some. I will be honest- first time I used the product, I dosed Every day for 8 days and wondered why tank was so cloudy. This is way back, so there was no you tube or R2R to clarify.
If I didnt like being here- we'd never have met- My pleasure
That is awesome !!!!Tilly wanted to give you a thank you note... but I think she wanted to eat it a little more so it wasn't her best work!
beautiful Chinchilla . Sold many at my pet store- Grey-ebony-white and beigeTilly wanted to give you a thank you note... but I think she wanted to eat it a little more so it wasn't her best work!
Got her for my gf as a bday present 3 years ago... didn't think I would like her as much as I do but she's MINE now! They are such awesome animals!!
Any idea why the filefish would be coming up to the surface and spitting water? I'm in day 3 of general cure treatment for flukes...I went low with the dosage (80% ish) and added what I guessed to be the remaining 10% just a little while ago. Still haven't seen him eat anything although his swimming seems to be much more active today...
It is. has to be flukes or velvet .
hmmm- favoring water surface often a sign of velvet
No spots at all... he only went to the surface briefly, spending 90% of his time near a cave at the bottom. I haven't noticed any eating but it did look like he might have been trying to brush up against some rocks earlier. I've had him for close to 4 months now with nothing new added to the tank.
The more I look into it, I'm pretty sure you're right about velvet. No spots but he was swimming into the current and sad to day but obvious at this point he isn't going to make it. Swimming very erratic and laying on his side. I'm pulling the clown out first thing tomorrow and going into a qt tank to treat for velvet. She's fine and acting normal but I'm not taking any chances. Valuable lessons learned here.
Unfortunate , Have quarantine always available and on hand for situations like this and act quickly:
Planning on moving clown to qt this afternoon. Do u recommend i use an antibiotic while treating with copper? Cant get nitrofurazone anytime soon so would ruby rally be safe to use in qt bath or something else? Thanks again
