Ok thanks, as far as all the pvc and silicone that should all be fine right?
Hello,
I need some help I have a 60 gallon cube that I set up years ago before I knew about properly qting fish. I only have a pair of clowns left from the fist fish I added. I think there is some type of disease or virus in the tank but I have never seen any real sigh of anything. I have lost every fish I have added to the tank. I just lost a mystery wrasse that I put through 45 day of qt, so I know the fish was healthy when it went into the tank. The wrasse was in the tank for about 4 months so what ever it is must be very slow acting. All the parameters of the tank are great. My question is how long would I need to go fish free to make sure there is absolutely nothing in the tank? Also I have not seen any aggression in the tank. The clowns are still to young to be aggressive towards anything.
Any help would be greatly apprecated
@Humblefish I was finally able to get the fish out into a qt tank. I am pretty sure at this point it is a bacterial infection. I am going to us furan-2 kanoplex and metroplex. When using them all together what doses should I use?
Follow the dosing instructions on the labels. Kanaplex + Furan-2 you want to dose at the same time; Metro you can wait a few hours before dosing.
So I would repeat the treat ment 4 time? That's what the furan-2 says to do. Does it matter if I do all 3 at the same time?
You would keep going with the dosing regimen until at least 10 days have elapsed.
You can do all 3 at the same time, but I suggest mixing the meds in a cup until they're fully dissolved. I don't like adding powder medication directly to the QT.
Any thoughts on how a melanarus wrasse will tolerate a FW dip?
Waaaay back earlier in this thread, it was recommended (by @melypr1985, I believe) that a cube of food soaked Metroplex w/ Focus be fed to an infected fish once a day for ten days. I currently have a wrasse in QT that I am treating prophilactically and it's my usual protical to feed this tank 4 times a day. I assume that I then must divide this dosage by 4 and feed a little bit at every feeding for the required 10 days. Correct?
Then I am probably overdosing. I was dividing the cube into fourths and feeding the metro soaked food each time. I also planned to do this EVERY DAY for 10 days. The wrasse is the only fish in QT at this point. Still then, I should only feed the medicated food once a day?Should be fine.
That is fine, or you can feed metro soaked food just once a day (so long as every fish eats some). Treating internal parasites/intestinal worms is a prolonged, sustained battle.
Still then, I should only feed the medicated food once a day?
I would like to know as well. Rumor has it that fairy wrasses and halichores can handle it ok, but flashers cannot.I have been seeing more and more people say they have used CP on fairy Wrasse. Does anyone have knowledge of this?
I’ve heard the same, although I’ve not tried it myself.I would like to know as well. Rumor has it that fairy wrasses and halichores can handle it ok, but flashers cannot.
