  1. With praziquantel you want to treat every two weeks for a total of three full courses of treatment so treat week 1 week 3 week 5 with praziquantel with clamped fins and hanging at the surface i would monitor then very close the praziquantel might help with the behaviour there showing i would give an update after the first full course of praziquantel go from there
  2. Salt is fine to use with antibiotic medication I would gradually start to remove the salt over the next couple of days
  3. If your using pure RO water your would want to remineralize your RO water with seachems equilibrium or similar product
  4. You can Do two 50% water changes or one large water change and run active carbon for 24hr to remove any remaining medication before treating with kanaplex and jungal fungus clear
  5. as this tanks had neon tetra disease I wouldn't add barbs angelfish danio rasbora guppies goldfish or tetra such as cardinals they can get neon tetra disease that limits your stock opinion unless you broke the tank down and sterilised everything KH to low for mollies i would add some crushed coral you need add 1 pound of crushed coral per 10 gallons to raise your as low KH can cause a lot of health issues in liverbears assuming your mollies are all male or female and won't breed you could add a small group of Cory's most species of Cory's like cooler temperatures of 74°F you could lower your temperature to 74°F and get a group of bronze Cory's your Mollie would do fine at that temperature
  6. What are your water parameters ammonia nitrite nitrate pH KH GH temperature and what filtration are you using do you have live plants or fake plants that will help when considering stocking options
  7. Looking at the pictures that doesn't look to bad the Redding could be because it has a long tail fin and he's catching or Irritating it on something in the tank I wouldn't do another course of kanaplex I would just keep the aquarium salt at 1 table spoon for 2 gallons for another week than give an update @Ronnie
  8. If he sill has Redding to the fins that's a sign of an active infection you might have to do two courses of kanaplex back to back can you take a picture of the fins @Ronnie

    Bump on Betta Head

    Could be a small cyst or possibly injured himself causing a small amount of inflammation what I would do is add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties you might have to add one leaf per gallon to get a beneficial effect and monitor for a week if you notice any change give us an update
  10. Sometimes you will have to do two courses of kanaplex back to back what I would do is leave it 5 days add some inda almond leaves and monitor then follow up with another course of kanaplex if your seeing no change
  11. I would leave him in another week just to be on the safe side then put him back in the main tank if he's still active and eating ok
  12. Forgot to add only use that level of salt in quarantine tank at that level it would be harmful to your loach @reefhugger
  13. With white patches it's always best to air on the side of caution possible columnaris could also be fungal it's difficult to tell off your picture I would do a course of kanaplex and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 1 gallon the combination of kanaplex and salt will treat bacterial and fungal infections just remember with salt to only put back in what you take out so if you do a 1 gallon water change put 1 table spoon of salt back in as salt only removed though water changes leave the salt for a minimum of 7 days at that level than gradually start to lower it to 1 table spoon for 3 gallons for another week@reefhugger
  14. Possibly injured itself and it's got some inflammation under the skin causing a small lump assuming there Indian almond leaves in the tank i would add more as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties and monitor for next 5 days to the see if lump gets bigger or reduces in size and add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 10 gallons that will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes at that level safe for your loach then give an update if you notice it getting worse @pancake
  15. I can only see your top picture Does it have fuzzy appearance any Reddening around the white area
  16. Dropsy can be caused by a number of things such as organ failure parasitic infections internal bacterial infections the most effective treatment I have found is aquarium salt to help reduce any fluid buildup dose the tank with kanaplex to treat any possible internal bacterial infections and do a course of metroplex in food feeding a small amount twice a day for upto 3 weeks @Bonex
  17. When you think it's got to point were it's got no quality of life and it's suffering that when I would make the decision to humanely euthanize as @Tony s said it's never an easy decision to make
  18. To my eye that looks like a cancerous tumor or benign growth sometimes you can get lumps like this with a bacterial infections I don't think it's something that will respond to medication looking at were it's located I would consider humanely euthanizing it with clove oil
  19. Am not familiar with use of guava or jackfruit leaves I don't think the they would have the same effect as Indian almond leaves
  20. Metronidazole does treat aeromonas that gram negative bacteria you would want to treat with maracyn2 or maracyn in food or dose the tank with kanaplex @Chick-In-Of-TheSea
  21. It can be caused by an injury to the eye when it's only affecting one eye it can Also be caused by a bacterial infections as @Whitecloud09 mentioned I would add a low dose of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 7 gallons at that level it shouldn't harm your plants or shrimp and add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties you might have to add one leaf per gallon to get a beneficial effect after 5 days if your seeing no change than I would do a course of maracyn2 it's shrimp safe and it also has anti-inflammatory properties
  22. Kanaplex in food isn't very effective in food as very little of the medication is absorbed by the intestinal tract I would use maracyn or maracyn2 in food he's a recipe
  23. It's also possible there were suffering from neon tetra disease that why the neons died and not your other fish
