Help please

Hey everyone,


My black pair is doing fine but my gold nuggets are up top corner, not even coming down .
 
So my goldnugget make, looks like the female is bullying himc

His fins are missing chunks,

What do i do?


I cant find meteoplex anythig else i can use?

With cupramine?
 
So i got metroplex, paraguard and no para ich(has copper and formaldyhyde)



Dont ask me why i bought all 3 bcuz i dont even know why i did
 
I would avoid anything with formaldehyde unless absolutely necessary. Wouldnt suggest mixing with copper as i know formalin removes o2 not sure if other chemical preparations do the same.
 
You can mix the Metroplex with copper. I would not mix the others.
 
Can i do metroplex or prazipro after 3-4 of cupramine?

Just wondering

How long am i QT these fishes for?
4 week?

I know you guys said run the DT without fish for 8 weeks.

1) I wouldn’t mix unless you have to.
2) Qt for 30 days in fully therapeutic copper
3) 76 days fallow
 
Why 76 days? Whats the math behind it?


Just curious
 
Ohhh never knew that.

How long is the lifecycle of an ich?
 
This pair is barely eating, i am over feeding so they can grab a pellet or two every time i put a pinch.

Other pair is happy, moving, eating ,

What do i need to do!?

Did a water change 3 days ago,

Amonia is between safe and alert on amonia alert, will do a WC tomorrow,

Was trying to go atleast a week without wc,

Full time student so its hard to fo WC every 2 days.

30 days in copper.
You can separate the clowns. That's about the only advice I have. They can be one of the most aggressive fish in aquaria.
 
update: both pairs are doing good, both pairs are eating,

the male for gold nugget is still sitting in the corner, but he is eating now.

the water gets dirty very fast, i have to do WC every 2 days.
 
so everywhere i am reading, i see that 15 days is for copper at .50??

i am thinking on the day 15 run activated carbon for 24 hour,

and run no paraICH M, which is a combination of copper and formalin, and run that for 7-10 days,

that way i can do 25 days of copper and 10 days of formalin,


after that, wait few days,

and hit them with prazi pro for 5 days,

and see where i am at

@Humblefish
 
i have Paraguard, metro plex , Furan-2, para guard, para ich m, kordon kick ich on hand.
