I think that adding carbon to the filtration after the treatment would help you. For a week or 2, it would probably solve your issue and absorb all the stuff left in your tank. Thats what most people do post medical treatment.

From what I've read, this stuff can remain in tanks for pretty long, up to 12 months. Although I am not sure. I started the treatment today. My biggest concern is for the apisto fry in my tank, I do hope they survive the treatment. Sorry I can't help you much more then that.

I have a pair of apistogramma cacatuoids in a 20 gallon long tank. 30x12x12. I find it to be a perfect size. The only other thing with them are RCS which also breed. Their babies can serve as fresh food for young apistos. My tank is well planted. I've had 3 batches so far and none have had a...

Also, worth noting that in my experience, parent cared apisto babies don't usually have a 100 % rate of survival. Keep in mind you might not have 15 of them actually get through the natural selection process within the tank. It doesn't mean you're a bad keeper, it is what naturally happens in...

Indeed, I was thinking of trying Lavamisol. My only hope is of actually finding some powder. Since I am in Québec, finding fish medication is a pain in the butt. I'll try ebay and hope customs don't confiscate !

Hello friends, I am new to this forum and I come seeking advise. I am worried about my new male apistogramma cacatuoides I recently bought. He has been doing good. Feeding frozen foods from hakari and northfins pellets. He's eating well for the last few weeks, but I noticed this week a swollen...
