need help identifying this please

^^ Just wanted to add that the above is NOT guaranteed to work, and exposing your fish to formalin at that high of a concentration might even kill them. And you may need to repeat this procedure more than once. However, unless you can get your hands on some Chloroquine phosphate in the next day or two, the above game plan gives these two particular fish the best possible chance of surviving. But there are risks. :oops:

You're still the man, Humble :)

I think the clown will be okay, and don't sweat the lympho.

Thanks for the link .

I recommend bumping dosage up to 60mg/gal when dealing with active infections; 40mg/gal is sufficient for prophylactic use.

80mg/gal is unnecessary (and sometimes will suppress appetite) so I need to remove that from the sticky.

Thanks we are at the 3rd vet so farthey are negative to give a prescription

I think the clown will be okay, and don't sweat the lympho.

Not worried about the lympho, just concerned about the clowns reaction to copper, so far, unless I take the patients. ( fish) to the vet or pay for the vet to come out to the house = no prescription.and the soonest to get an appointment is Monday.

Clowns and damsels will be okay in copper.

This is the puffer 36 hrs after starting copper not eating or moving

What is the copper concentration? Have you tested for copper?

 

[melypr1985]

What kind of copper did you end up using? Did you get the proper test kit for it as well?

The clown( with lympho)wrasse & puffer were started on coopersafe, within therapeutic levels,the mandarin & orange spot Gobi are waiting for the chloroquine to show up on Monday 6th to start on that. In the meantime they are relaxing in a melafix treatment.the puffer is looking much much better. Thanks for asking I can keep you posted once we start the chloroquine.

Oh good! I"m glad they are looking better. You had me worried with that last picture of the puffer. :) The API copper test kit will work fine with coppersafe.

I just about 1 HR ago started the Mandy ,orange Gobi & a scissortail goby in the cp, so far they look pretty good, (hiding)for the most part, the Toby was put in copper, with a 6 line wrasse, it took about 4 days to look appreciatively better, the wrasse has stopped flashing the clown with lymphocystis is in its own qt with copper, the nodes are getting bigger, but it has to be clean to go I the DT, I'll be happy to keep you posted on the cp tank...
