Petco rescue, two tangs

[Frtdrmrose7]

It was worth a try!

Did you see the question I asked a little while ago about water changes with the MB?

Hold on

 

[Frtdrmrose7]

Hold on

I can’t be 100% certain but I’m pretty sure it’s a 25% WC before redosing the tank. Let’s see if @HotRocks or @4FordFamily woukd know for sure.
Most fish are tolerant of higher levels of MB also so unless a huge overdose is done I wouldn’t worry too much.

So glad to see Dory getting better. If she survives this, and I think she will, she’s gonna go down in history as the subject of the best online collaboration ever. I can’t wait to see her in her big tank living out the rest of her long life!

Can also do any size change and mix the replacement water with the MB first or just enough of course to add to the new volume.

A 25% WC will suffice before each dose.

I did that last night when I dropped the salinity more

Should I dose for the entire tank volume or just the water I change out every two days?

I'm not up to speed on the purpose of the continued dosing and the thread is several pages. Can you help me out?

MB does it's work in 3-5 days usually when used in a tank. It will also completely wipe out your biofilter so I usually only use it as a bath. I do use NFG which contains MB, but I do so in a sterile tank and dose prime to combat ammonia in that case.

There's a lot to catch up on but the skinny of it is she has prazi resistant flukes and nearly died a couple times only to be saved by MB baths. She's been through 14 days of triple sulfa and furan 2 for infection. @ngoodermuth recommended the MB in the qt because it's helping so much. She's doing excellent now with the MB so I just want to make sure that I'm dosing it correctly. I'm dosing prime to counteract the biofilter issue and she's in hyposalinity right now because I couldn't get fenbendazole early enough to treat her

How long has the fish been in MB?

Besides a few baths today is the second day so I need to do a water change tonight based on Humble's write up(10 days with water changes and dosing every other day) , I just want to make sure I don't add too much or too little. She's in a 20 gallon tank with 15 gallons of actual capacity that I measured when I filled it

Im on board now. So a 25% WC and then redose for 15 gallons is what you would want to do.

Thank you! I didn't want to do anything until I knew for sure

 

[Dolelo96]

Ugh here’s how it would go,
her: honey what is in that container over there?
Me: worms
Her: F$&$@&&$&@&&)ck NO!!!

That would be me. I have a hard time with anything that even remotely resembles a snake[emoji13]

They're so small they look nothing like worms

 

[RtomKinMad]

Somehow I got lost a while back, any contributions for a bigger tank yet? I can help if there is information on where to help with $ for new tank!
I missed all the thread how are the fish?

Unfortunately we lost Mr Yellow Tang but baby Dory is doing well after a few close calls. @ckalupa has secured a bigger tank(by personally guaranteeing the purchase) and is accepting donations towards it

I actually have a hard time feeding them to the fish because I feel guilty for killing them, maybe I'm a little too compassionate

 

[Dolelo96]

Do they have legs? Nope..distant cousin to a snake[emoji12]
