So, how's it going now?

Pretty good. She is still eating. Im feeding as often as i can to make sure gets gets as much of the med as possible during the 3 days of feeding. Do you think that i should not feed for 4 days after the 3? Or should i feed flake for 4 days ( im just afraid she wont take to the pellets after she has flake again)

 

[kribensis12]

?

I would feed lightly, every other day with the plain flake. This will give the digestive tract a little time to clear out, not starve the fish, but keep its appetite sharp.

 

[kribensis12]

Thanks!

 

[kribensis12]

The treatment has not worked. So, i am giving up and just enjoying the fish while i have him/her

 

[kribensis12]

Is this parasite definatley going to kill my fish? Is there no chance w/o medicine? Also, how long could she possibly have? She is vibrant, fins always straight out, and colorful, and eats like a pig.

What med did you use and how long.
Internal parasites do alot of damage to the internal organs and even brain damage.

 

[kribensis12]

I ran copper in the tank, and feed the medicated food for about 25 days. No signs of imporvement.

 

[WILDER]

How do you know they still have the parasites?

 

[kribensis12]

I can see the parasite sticking out the angels anus.

 

[WILDER]

Ok.
I'm suprised that the medicated wormer food didn't do anything, maybe he didn't eat to much of it.
All I can think of doing in getting a med that treats the water its called Metronidazole 4 mg/L for 3 to 4 days Hexamita change water with each treatment. Poorly soluble

 

[kribensis12]

The angel ate quite a bit of it actually. I thought metro was only for stimulating appitites.( spelling)>

 

[WILDER]

No it kills parasites.

 

[kribensis12]

ohhh. what med is it found in
