I am able to do that, I am worried that it will stress him too much though and kill him, as I'm pretty sure he isn't eating at all and I know loaches like to live in their groups. But I guess if I do nothing he's just going to starve himself to death and I'll have to fish him out then... Should...

I did 2 half doses, one a week ago and the other a week before, which is what the package says to do. Should I do it again?

Hey guy, I noticed last week that I had one kuhli loach that is looking extremely skinny compared to all the others (I have 6 striped loaches and 7 brown/black loaches, which are all fine). I'm not really sure what to do, I can't tell if he's eating because he just runs away when I try to feed...

Thank you for you help star4, I'll give it a try next feed :)

Alright great, can the fish be overdosed on it? Like if I accidentally add too many slices to the food? Also, how often do you do this? Thank you so much

That's not good :( do you think it could be TB? I'm hoping because none of them have any sores it's not.. And none of them seem to have the white patches that come with columnaris.. I have a food here called spectrum and it's for 'finicky eaters' and one of the ingredients is garlic.. They...

Thank you for your reply, the thin platy and one of the guppies with dropsy have died, so there is one left in quarantine. I haven't noticed any red threads and one of the guppies in have main tank does have stringy white faeces, I treated the main aquarium with praziquantel and after treatment...

Out of the 5 fish I have suscepted of the most serious illness, 2 have died, the girl that was paralyzed and a platy that was just acting a little strange. I have three left, 2 of which are I'm pretty sure getting dropsy, and the very skinny platy which wasn't eating and I just checked on then...

Hi all, I posted a while ago about a prolapse on a female guppy and a lump on her side. She has been 100% fine since she got better (for about 2 weeks or so) until about 2 days ago, I noticed she was swimming slower, then her tail dropped and looked like it was weighing her down. Once this...

Hi again, sorry to reopen this but I'm having a problem relating to this guppy. She has been 100% fine since she got better until about 2 days ago, I noticed she was swimming slower, then her tail dropped and looked like it was weighing her down. Once this happened I moved her into a quarantine...

Alright well thank you so much for all your help!

It is :D I was very surprised it worked. Thank you so much for all your help, I don't know what I would of done without it! Should I treat her with another dose of medication or put her back in the main aquarium? Or just leave her in quarantine for a bit longer?

Yes from what I can see the lump is complete gone and she is moving her fin on that side of her body normally again.

Yeah she's just begun eating blood worms whole and bigger fish flakes. Another round of medication won't be harmful? The ingredients in the medication are methylene blue, acriflavine and malachite green... I've been doing partial water changes in her quarantine tank with water from the aquarium...

Another update, so far the fish still seems to be getting better. I'm pretty sure the lump is gone and hasn't returned yet and her prolapse hasn't returned either. She's still getting twice daily epsom salt baths and is still in the quarantine tank. She's starting to eat again too, it looks a...
