Med combination confirmation

[Twodogsnnc]

Can anyone confirm that I can combine General Cure and Kanaplex? Can I dose both in the tank while also including in food? I have a clown with white stringy poop and a pop eye (pop eye came after a freshwater dip). No flukes were observed.
Thanks, Kyle

You can combine the two but GC alone should take care of internal parasites. For the pop eye try adding Epsom salt, make sure it’s not scented, if that doesn’t work usually erithromycin is the go to treatment.

How do I dose epson salt (how much/ frequency)? Any negative effect on other fish? It’s a 20 gallon qt tank. Thanks.

1 tablespoon per 5 gallon, can repeat in 48hrs. It’s just magnesium sulfate so no negative effects unless heavily overdosed.

Thank you! I assume I should feed gc and not dose the tank?

You can do both. If the fish will eat if it may be quicker to act but if not adding to the water works.
