Hello all,
I have a african cichlid tank with 2 synodontis in it (one a multipunctatus, one an indeterminate type). I got some new labidochromis, and, this is my fault, I didn't quarantine them.
So now I have a variety of ailments (or possibly just one, really). One of the labidochromis appears to have ich, and many of the fish are now flicking against the gravel and walls.
I've got some quick cure (malachite green + formalin), but I'm wondering how safe it is to use with my Synodontis cats. My plan was to use a half dose of 30 drops (55 gallon tank), repeat that again for the next 2 days, and wait another week (10 days today), while simultaneously increasing the temperature (as well as removing my filter carbon and increasing aeration).
Is it safe to use a full dose of 55 drops? Alternately, is it unsafe to even use the 30 drops? How should I proceed?
Thanks!
Joe
