I just learned that neomycin sulfate is extremely hygroscopic so is it better to order a replacement or is this still usable? (Almost broke my finger and the measure spoon just trying to dose some) @Jay Hemdal

#jayhemdal I have just finished 15 days of Flux RX for GHA and my clown has this white speckled area on the top - one side only - of his body. My guess is a bacterial or fungus infection. I haven't added anything to my tank since April and those were frags. I have Kanaplex and Melafix. What...

#jayhemdal Need all your water parameters and preferably a video taken in white light.

...help and my dr.fish "Bicolor cleaner wrasse" keep annoying the naso tang ,so go with this treatment or no pleas share your experience with me and help me note : in my tank no corals i have only one pic of Anemone is 't safe for it because i don't have Quarantine tank #Hurricaneaquatic...

You can do a 90 minute dip using Rally Pro in saltwater. Use 1 teaspoon to 1 gallon of water. It does not look like brooklynella normally does but the Rally will treat many things. Jay may have a better suggestion. #jayhemdal

daily tag #Jay hemdal the best fish doctor we are lucky to have!

Jay, I am still struggling with both fish. It seemed yesterday the clown was starting to have a bit of buoyancy again so I went ahead and added a dose of Prazipro to the DT. The royal gramma has finished his treatment of Kanaplex in the hospital tank. He is still not eating much if at all. I...

Good news! The clownfish is back in the DT with a full recovery! Now waiting to see if the Kanaplex fixes the royal gramma. #jayhamdel

Jay, I misspoke. I did 3 day Prazipro in the DT. The Vanderbilt Chromis got cupramine only in quarantine. No spots on the Royal Gramma, looks fine, no heavy breathing. The Vanderbilt Chromis has not had any further stringy poop that I know of. They get fed a mixture of hatchery pellets...

...eating not at all or very little. I treated the DT with Cupramine for 3 days a couple of weeks ago after adding a new Vanderbilt Chromis which had stringy poo after being in quarantine. Tank parameters, other fish and corals are fine. He looks and acts normal. Should I be concerned? #Jay...

...fish -- not inverts) in 5 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide/1L of saltwater. In short: anecdotally, this type of prophylaxis has produced good results; #Jay Hemdal's own trials are on going. In any case, you should be aware of the risks (and limitations) of proceeding with this process before doing...

...reviews. :p Seriously, Amazon and the seller really do need to clearly indicate the intended use of these things. I couldn't find the source of my problems until Jay Hemdal told me that -- ahem -- I had probably bought, and used, a beerfractometer. Apparently there are even some for blood!

Maybe, unless it's frozen first, although the risk seems to be low. #Jay Hemdal wrote that there's a relative of ich that parasitizes coldwater fish, and I'd be at least somewhat concerned about introducing pathogens into my tanks which are difficult to treat. And this parasite is apparently...
