Ahbaloch · May 2, 2018

Ahbaloch · May 2, 2018

Also after how many days should i be changing the water?

Becuz the ammonia alert get to “alert” with in 2 days,

Should i changing the water when its at alarm or alert?

Ahbaloch · May 2, 2018

@Humblefish

Even a trace of ammonia can damage a fish’s gills, so do a WC whenever any ammonia is detected.

I added little bit of bio spira,

And i think it did the charm,

Ammonia is at zero,

But my male nugget is still in the corner,

He is eating though but females start to bully him as soon as he moves

I would add metro to the water: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/metronidazole.298762/

Just in case this is brook, and it is just being suppressed by the copper.

Not frozen food,

Can i just add a spoon to the water?

Read this: http://www.seachem.com/focus.php

Dosing in Food
Stir together the medicated food mix (recipe below) before feeding. Feed the fish once daily as much as they can consume in about 1 minute. Treatment periods will vary but it is recommended to treat for at least a week. This medicated food can be refrigerated or frozen between feedings.

1 scoop of medication if choice

1 scoop Focus™

1 tbsp food (preferably pellets or frozen food)

A few drops of water if using a dry food

To enhance palatability use with GarlicGuard™ or Entice™.

What is this?

Its white

Looks raised from the skin,

I can more under the belly and two fins below belly.

It could very well be Brook. Metro needs to be added to the water to treat Brook. Dose per the instructions on the bottle.

Mixing in food treats internal parasites/worms.

+1 Dose metro every 48 hrs for brook: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/metronidazole.298762/

Ahbaloch · May 5, 2018

Okay i will dose metro,

How long do you guys recommend for?

Ahbaloch · May 5, 2018

I also have rally reef,

Can i do rally reef dips? Every day for 10 mins or however long you guys recommend

HotRocks · May 5, 2018

I would not do daily dips that may put too much stress on the fish I will let humble elaborate on that. You just want to dose Metro as instructed in the directions but do it for 10 to 14 days.
