Now I Gotta Do It Right

[puppyjess123]

So who do you think is the worst affected as it has to be a fish not a photo. Can i in a plastic lunch container with no lid cuz i don't have a bag (Cept for like asda and tesco ones). How do i pump air into it?!!
Kk i will read the dosage instructions if their is some.
What do i de-worm them with? Levamsioel?
Heres a reminder to which one i should take?

I would take the fish with the sunken in belly.
I filled the bags with a bike pump.
Ask a neighbour if they have any clear plastic bags.
The container no good as it could jump out, plus the temp will drop to fast.
I would see if he will look a phto's first then take the fish to the vet.
Yes he will tell you the dosage for the tank.
Get you some info.

 

[puppyjess123]

What happens if they both have sunken in bellies?
What happens if i don't have a bag. Would a tesco/asda bag do?
They want me to take the fish we already asked that. I don't know why...
Kl thanks.
P.S Why do you say that?

 

[WILDER]

No a tesco bags no good.
You need a very strong clear plastic bag.
They don't know which fish it is, I would take the one with the sunken in belly.
Here a link to the dosage.

So i don't have a clear plastic bag. So can i just use a plasticv lunchbox with no lid?
Who don't know what fish it is? And they both have sunken in bellys
I'll ask the vet for dosage will it harm my cories as their scaleless?

 

[WILDER]

The lunch box is no good.
You need a strong plastic bag, them use a foot pump to blown the bag up with air, elastic band .
Then wrap a towel round the bag and place the bag in a little bucket just incase the bag splits or breaks.
The med is fine with all fish.
Do you tv boxs, or dvd boxes that have plastic bags in.

 

[puppyjess123]

I'll just have a look. Thanks wilder been such a help look at signature in a min

 

[WILDER]

If the vet does percribe levaimsole you would have to ask if it ok to use with the fry.
As normally with fry you have to half dose.

 

[puppyjess123]

No they all leak + why isn't a lunch box good?

I don't think the fry are gonna survive anyway they look weak

 

[minxfishy]

Do you have sandwich bags Lucy? They are usually good in this type of emergency.

With a lunchbox your likely to get spilling thats the problem with that, plus you wont be able to keep the light out and the fish is going to be very stressed with all this going on so keeping them in darkness will help.

Dont take the fry, just the mollie that looks the worst, you dont want to upset more fish than you need to.

 

[WILDER]

The lunch box is no good as the guppy might jump out and plus it won't hold the temp without a lid.
I would phone the vets to see if pics will be ok rather putting a fish through stress.

 

[puppyjess123]

No but i suppose we could buy some sandwich bags for tomorrow. I've decided to take the orange one as she has a mroe sunken in belly although the other one usually clamps her fins. I wasn't gonna take the fry ..... So a sandwich bag punped with air sealed with an elastic band with a towel over it in a bucket? Phew

We have they'd prefer the actuall fish apparently donna why.

 

[WILDER]

Yes that correct, I always take a bucket with me when ttransporting fish just in case.
The towels helps with stress and keep the heat in the bag.

 

[puppyjess123]

[WILDER]

Get the large tesco sandwich bags there pretty strong..
