Sick Platy

[WILDER]

I wouldn't bother you won't get rid of them that way.
Just add abit of peat to your filter and test your ph the next day.
Fish keeping awful when it all goes wrong.

is the peat a liquid?

 

[WILDER]

No the peat isn't liquid is like sponge stuff.
Not sure on internal parasites med in canada ask in tropical chat.

 

[WILDER]

Here are some meds to see if you can get tthem.


Treatment:

Treat with Internal Parasite Guard, Pipzine, Disco-Worm, Trichlorfon or Fluke-Tabs as well as a medicated food to prevent a bacterial infection.

[WILDER]

Good luck fingers crossed.
But sounds to late with the platy that ill.

 

[omega59]

i'm going to look into buying one of those UV Sterilizers for the 20gal tank. It is suppose to kill all parasites, i hope it treats this illness as well.

 

[WILDER]

Only good on whitepot and then not when its on the fish.
What can I kill with a UV sterilizer?
UV sterilizers will destroy parasites such as Ich during the new born, free swimming life cycle stage.
NOTE: They do not kill or remove the Ich parasites once attached to the fish. UV Sterilizers can be used with other methods to treat Ich. UV Sterilizers will kill free floating algae. It will not kill algae that is stuck to your glass or imbedded in your live rock. It needs to go through the UV sterilizer to be zapped.
