Sick Fish

[hopkigg]

What fish do you have in the tank.

Carry on with the protozin.
You can use the esha exit now without doing a water change and running some black carbon for 2 days.

this is the list of fish that i have 1 bgkf, 1 african knife fish, 4 parrot fish, 1 red spotted severum, 1 rotkeil severum, 1 polypterus, 1 weather loach, 4 clown loach, 2 angel fish, 4 silver dollars, 3 rainbow fish, 1 opaline gourami, 4 silver sharks, 10 corys, 5 mollies, 1 botia kubotia, 11 kribs, 5 tiger barbs, 2 common plecs, 2 albino plecs, 1 golden nugget plec, 1 royal plec, 1 blue moori, 1 albino shark, 2 flying foxes, 3 catfish, 1 shrimp, 1 swordtail in a 700l tank. So can i use protozin and esha exit together as ive been told in the past not to mix meds or is this ok. Also i dont have any carbon and not able to get any for a while, when do i need to do water changes and how long do i need to treat the tank for

Just seen the pictures on the back of the esha packet and im now thinking it could be velvet, some fish are flicking, mainly kribs and clown loaches, but the severum has got white specks all over his body

Thats alot of fish.
Don't add anymore salt. You have some fish that don't tolerate it.

No don't mix meds. The waterlife meds fine on its own.

What I meant is that you can use esha exit whitespot med with esha 2000 bacterial med.

Velvet will look like yellow spots, gold dusting on a fish, or a rusty coloured varnish.
But also velvet can look like a dusting of talc on a fish.

I have completed the course of protozin (6 days). Should I run some carbon for 2 days and then do another course of protozin or should I try esha exit. The Sevrum is looking loads better but I just want to make sure the whitespot has gone for good. I have read that White Spot can last for up to 14 days hence why I'm asking if I need to continue treatment. Thanks in advance for all your help

Place fresh black carbon back in filter.
Go from there.
