Tomini tang spot?

[Mjrenz]

Bad news the 3 stores around me doesn’t carry any sort of medication so I’ll order it off amazon and get it here tomorrow or Friday depending on what’s available from them. But I do think it is the start of a bacterial infection because it’s just a tiny scrape on him should I put him in the QT tank for the time being or do you think he’ll be fine till I get that medication

Do you have a petsmart near you? They usually carry api medications. If you can't get it now then later is better than never

I do Ill give them a call if not is this what I need

That's an herbal remedy, it could help a little but arciflavine is going to be a more effective treatment

I’m looking for it on amazon I can’t find it that’s the only one for saltwater that I can find

It says it's for freshwater but it works fine in salt

One more question do I use tank water in the 5 gallon bucket?

You can, you won't have to worry about any changes in parameters then. Just watch the temp, small water volumes can heat up quickly even with a small heater and you don't want the temp to change rapidly

Would this work?

That's an antibiotic, it would need to be dosed for 10 days in a qt. It is a very good medicine to have though

Okay they had more of the stuff you originally said in back I’ll get one of them and try that first then if that don’t work I’ll get this other one

I don't think you need the Furan-2 yet but since you're there it would be a good idea to take a box home if you end up needing it later

 

[Mjrenz]

The api triple sulfa is also another good medication to have on hand. Again, not needed yet, but very good to have when it is needed

 

[Tylerc33]

Awesome I grabbed both just in case I will need them in the future. I’ll let you guys know how he is tomorrow
