I've done long term metro treatments, but I continually would see the fish stop eating the medicated food. The three day treatment is from Noga. daily, as the sole diet for three days then stop. I think you would be pretty safe in starting it up again after a week or so.When you say “feed for 3 days” is that every other day for 3 doses, or it is literally 3 days in a row.
I always “learned” that medicated foods with metro should be for 12-14 days but every other day.
I concur fish just don't like that med. Even just dosing it to the water they wont eat.I've done long term metro treatments, but I continually would see the fish stop eating the medicated food.

Because I didn’t know better. I already planned on dosing metro regardless and I assumed it would eradicate uronema as long as symptoms weren’t present (which they weren’t at the time). I assumed uronema was easy to treat for from lack of experience.Why would you buy anything then that's just crazy.
I agree with this. I learned the hard way.Stop overdosing meds and stressing them out. Feed them brine / mysis mix with metroplex and kanaplex + focus. If they keep eating, chances are they will survive. Its when anthias don't eat you can bet on them dying.
I wasn't aware of this. I just bought 3 lyretail anthias from the LFS that are in QT right now. One developed a cloudy eye after a couple of days. I have been treating for a bacterial infection. Maybe it's trauma?Oh! I prefer not to catch up anthias unless I really need to - with that whole eye damage/popeye thing that they get so easily.

Cool, at this point it's one eye and she's acting normal and eating. All I can get them to eat is mysis. They spit out several types of pellets.Typically, one cloudy eye is from trauma, possibly with secondary bacterial infection. Protozoan and flukes infections usually cause both eyes to be cloudy. Of course, serious trauma could involve BOTH eyes, but we rarely see that.
