Hello all!
It’s a sad morning for me as I woke up to my first fish casualty. My hopes for this post is to get any advice as to what may have happened so that I can prevent it in the future. It’s a bit of a long story but I’ll try to be concise.
My royal gramma was the first fish in my tank...
This fairy wrasse died in the DT today. I did round two of prazi for suspected flukes two days ago. Prazipro seemed to coincide with a strong shift in fish behavior.
I put carbon back online this morning. A number of fish that were especially skittish are now back out and nibbling.
All of the...
I dosed round 2 of Prazipro last night. Directions say 1tsp (5mL) per 20 gallons of water. Total water volume is 75G, so I dosed just a touch more than recommended by adding 20mL.
Woke up today and dosed vinegar without thinking.
Pretty much all of the fish are hiding and panting now, save for...
DT got contaminated with Flukes due to less than perfect sterilization between working on QT and DT.
I started a course of prazi on Tuesday, and alk has been slowly creeping up with normal dosing.
Is prazipro known to suppress calcification? None of the corals look too rough, but they're...
I'm prophylactically treating my melanarus wrasse for flukes since I know a fish from the same source that died in another QT had flukes. This wrasse has eaten like a horse (she will take down an entire cube of PE mysis by herself in minutes) since I got her Saturday, so yesterday around noon I...
I went through several Pyramid Butterfly fish to figure this out. Watch as I take you through 4 months of working with these fish to figure out a cure.
Amazon links to everything I used in the videos is in the youtube comment section.
So I have finished my fallow period, the fish that survived the ick are back in the display and I'm picking out fish. I have a 40 gallon set up, already sanitized and cycled. I want to implement copper this time rather than hyposalinity just for the best results. I have backup tanks that I want...
I have an Exquisite Fairy Wrasse and an Orange-Back Fairy Wrasse that are in quarantine. I recently noticed them scratching their gills on the PVC fittings and yawning. So I did some research and decided to dose PraziPro. I have read that it could be caused by flukes or ich. It makes sense that...
Hi Guys,
This pretty girl isn't acting right. She's breathing heavily and just sort of hanging out in one area. She's new (1 week) and was NOT qt'd. (No lectures please, she was ordered and came in early while I had the flu. This is the first set of fish not qt'd and won't happen again...
Anyone ever put prazipro in their DT? I have corals and two clown fish and no QT.. i don’t want to lose my fish but i don’t have equipment for a QT so my only option is DT. Has anyone every had negative side effects? Tank is 2 almost 3 months old and fish have been in DT the whole time. Believe...
Hey Guys-
I'm on about day 16 of quarantining my Golden Rhomboid Wrasse from Live Aquaria. I did a second dose of Prazipro yesterday (2ml in 8 gallons of water) and this morning I noticed it swimming very erratically, almost disoriented. The first Prazi treatment didn't really affect it at...
Hello everyone
Looking for some advice with black ich eradication...
My Tang fully recovered from Lympho about a month ago. I guess that opened the door on his immune system for the turbellarians to attach.
I noticed the little black spots above his skin near his fins yesterday, which...
Hi All,
I am in the process of researching/purchasing a sand dwelling wrasse. Since these fish need a sand bed to sleep in, how would you go about medicating? I plan on observing and doing prazi only, as long as there is no problems noted. Will sand absorb prazi?
Thanks!
Hello friends, I just want to share my story about battling with ich, marive velvet and bacterial infections on my 120 gallon bare bottom FOWLR tank. A couple weeks ago my fishes contracted these parasites and BI. So I humbly asked this forum for help. People like @Humble fish, @melypr1985 and...
Here I am kicking myself for not investing the time to quarantine my Leopard puffer (Canthigaster leoparda). Lesson learned.
I've had him in the tank for about 2 months now, eats like a pig (mysis soaked in Selcon, PE pellets, and Hikari pellets).
He is still very active, constantly picking at...
So now I'm changing my game plan on most new arrivals. I've been dosing CP (40mg) during TTM coupled with Prazipro.
I feel it's about the safest route to go considering that nearly all fish I've seen lately have a Parasite, Flukes, Bacterial infection, Viral infection, etc, etc. We know that...
