Can you mix these?

[PurpleGem]

I need to know if it's safe to use these together during treatment: Blue Planet Tri Sulfa and Blue Planet Paracide.

What are these? What are you treating for? Why are you looking for medication?

Did the image not show up? ? Blue planet tri sulfa and blue planet paracide. Was treating for columnaris but I'm thinking my fish might have gill flukes too...
He's on the tri sulfa treatment at the moment, some of the gray fuzz that was covering his head is gone but his gill looks worse, sticking out more with white stuff inside it.

I’m no expert but I would stay out of using those..

PurpleGem , I couldn't find out much about the 2 medication brands you posted so see if there is a phone number or website link on the bottles so you can contact them directly. Usually there is a list of contraindications in either the instructions or on their website.

This is a bad idea. The left bottle says it is Trichlorfon which is an extremely harsh medication, banned in many states. It's not just the combination but just using a dangerous organophosphate like Trichlorfon without knowing the water chemistry, temperature and species, for something trivial you aren't even sure of, like gill flukes (which you can only see under a microscope, btw.)? This is possibly lethal for the fish and should only be administered by professionals, and even then... which year is it from ? We have very safe anthelmintic products now.

Good to know, I'm glad I asked first. Thanks. I didn't realise that it was such a harsh medication, it's on the shelves of many stores here in Western Australia. I don't think I'll use it anyway in the future, I keep forgetting, I got it from the reduced shelf and only realised after I bought the paracide that it had already expired....what a waste of money.

For future, just ask before you get something you know no thing about Would Artemiss and Herbtana in where you live? Both are great, Artemiss has actually stopped my fighters columnaris getting worse. Make sure you use them separate on separate times, and add 1-2 days of additional treatment days.

That makes sense, I wouldn't be surprised Trichlorfon has been banned in Australia for a long time and it's actually over a decade (or even 2) old. If it is unopened try and get your money back... it's probably illegal for them to sell it.

I've been recommended Artemiss before but they don't sell it here. Haven't heard of Herbtana either, I doubt they sell it too. It's hard cause a lot of the medications people use to treat fish are sold in America and it's difficult to get here...
