How Long After Treating A Tank With Protozin Can You Wc?

[Liam50]

i believe my fish have some sort of fungus the red line torpedo barbs seem to be affected by it worst one has a glazed eye and some white patches on its fins. pretty much all of them are gasping at the top as well. so i treated with protozin aboout an hour ago but i wanna do a wc today as well but i don't want to remove the protozin i've just treated. any help would be great.

I did not water change until "day 13" after adding Protozin to my tank of death back in February (lost 6 Synodontis decora youngsters; Lionhead Cichlid "dad"; 1 Synodontis nigriventris), to be sure the Ich spores had all ben killed. Protozin doses compound the chemical if I recall rightly, as in the chemical does not breakdown between each day's doseage, so I think that if you did any water change now you would need to compensate for Protozin lost in the removed water.

Good luck with the treatment, I lost a two year old Redline Torpedo Barb a couple of weeks back, I thought I was only tackling a minor outbreak of finrot with Myxazin and found a dead floating body on "day 4".

well i swear i will never shop at swallow aquatics again. i lost five red line torpedos barbs, megasema proximus and five clown loaches all because the new proximus introduced a fungus but it seems to have cleared up now thank god.

Hmmm, that's where I shop! The one in Tenterden Garden Centre I presume? I always thought their fish looked healthier than the average LFS...

Sorry this ended so badly Liam50, after my own "tank of death" back in February I'm now a firm believer in quaranting new fish as well as not moving fish between my tanks for several weeks following any deaths... Just in case.

What and how many fish appear to have pulled through the treatment?
