I'm sure that I didn't shake the bottle well enough. I do know that this time it was those little rainbows that had a disease because within a day or so of getting them one had a big white thing with fungus on it right on his eye and there were a couple of spots on the gold sev. I know the tank looked real crowded in the video but it really isn't. All the fish were coming over to me for food so they were all gathered into one spot.
my clown loach needs help
- Thread starter nanguz
- Start date
I checked on him a little while ago and he's still hanging in there. his slime coat looks really lumpy and thick like it might some off. one time years ago he shed his slim coat and there was lovely skin under it. I hope this is what happens. this time its so much worse. It took me forever to get the tank up to 85 but I finally did. I turned the lights out because I heard the parasite don't like low light. I still haven't given up hope that he is going to make it.
What was the name of the anti-parasitic medicine you are using? I'm sorry he's so sick. We're all pulling hard for your little big guy
This. It's suppose to be better for his skin. I didn't want to give him coppersafe or formaline. that's the only two that the lfs had aside from that. I went to two stores. I had good luck with mardel stuff in the past.

Do you see any signs of improvement? The product info on it says it works for Ich and Oodinium. I'm just a little concerned that this product may not have as broad a coverage in case this is one of the other parasites that can cause similar symptoms. Costia and Chillodonella are a couple of other possibilities.
Keep a watch on him, if he doesn't seem to be improving it may be necessary to get something else. I so hope he will be OK.

Indications and Usage for Sentry AQ Mardel Quick Aid
For the treatment and control of symptoms associated with "Ick" and protozoan parasites in tetras, cichlids, livebearers, catfish and goldfish caused by ichthyopthirius multifili, Oodinium limneticum and Oodinium pillularis parasites.
DIRECTIONS
Shake well before using. It is always wise to check your water quality levels to ensure they are within their acceptable ranges before administering any water treatment. Raise aquarium water temperature to 85 degrees F. Remove carbon from filter but continue filtration. Use 1 capful (5 mL) to treat 15 gallons of aquarium water daily for the first two days of treatment. On the third day, perform a 25% water change and then repeat dosage again. On the fourth day, evaluate your fish and the symptoms of Ick. If Ick is present, repeat above treatment cycle. If Ick is not present,perform a 25% water change lower water temperature and return carbon to aquarium filter. It is suggested to increase tank aeration during treatment as water holds less oxygen for the fish at higher temperatures.
NOTE
Consult a veterinarian or fish expert for assistance in diagnosis of disease
causing organisms and treatment options.

He hasn't gotten worse. He may look a little better even. I went to a different store and got some aquari-sol. I hate changing meds mid way. If I were to change meds I was thinking I would do a 30% or better water change and then use the aqua sol. I really don't know what to do. he's not getting worse anymore but he's not eating. for him that's bad
