Fish Medicine Help!!!
Hey everyone. I have a Biota Yellow Tang in QT that I’m fairly certain started showing signs of Ich. I’m getting conflicting directions from the LFS’s in town. So far in QT since the 15th I’ve been treating with PraziPro and monitoring parameters. Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate all look fine on the API tests (I know they’re not the best). Today I’m noticing white dots on him, so I’m thinking Ich.
I have Paraguard on hand and threw in carbon to start removing the PraziPro. One LFS said Cupramine instead, another said more PraziPro (which doesn’t treat Ich???), another said Paraguard with Metro/Focus. Any tips on which route to go and how to implement it? Also, how long do I wait for the carbon to remove the PraziPro before adding something new? I’m planning on a 50% wc once the mixed water gets up to temp.
Thanks!
