  1. Remove all the carbon pads they will adsorb the medication rendering it useless I would add any extra air stone while treating
  2. It could be bacterial I would Qarantine if you haven't already any of the guppies that have come into contact with this fish I would recommend treating with maracyn2 active ingredient is minocycline
  3. I look in my veterinary book and that recommend using naladixic acid I have looked to see if they are other effective treatment kanaplex can be used it says to treat for an extended period up to 3 months to treat whirling disease and can be combined with nitrofurazone or metronidazole keep them Qarantined if they die they will release million of spores its a difficult disease to treat with a low success rate 50/50 at best I don't how well Otto's will respond to long term exposure to a powerful antibiotic medication like kanaplex I have only use two courses of treatment back to back
  4. The parasite that causes whirling disease is myxobolus cerebalis higher temperatures over 70F it slows the life cycle of the parasite checking it's spread at higher temperatures won't help fish already infected naladixic acid has proven effective at treating some types of fish with whirling disease if there not showing any improvement with Expel p then I would treat with AAP aquatronics naladin
  5. I don't think that will be a problem tiger barbs when kept in a big group tend to bicker among themselves
  6. Stop feeding brine shrimp for a week that what they are eating that will reduce their numbers
  7. Yes seachems focus it acts as a binding agent to bind the medication to the food
  8. What I would do is Qarantine if you can and treat with kanaplex in food and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons I would up the salt gradually to 1 table spoon for 1 gallon after a couple of days feed the medicated food twice a day for 7 days
  9. Over the last 20 years I have had probably had over ten thousand + bristlenose fry I have found them very easy to breed if they are well feed and given suitable water parameters and plenty of caves if your going to breed more types of bristlenose I would recommend getting a group of ancistrus wabenmuster love the patten
  10. Infusoria Sera micron hikari Frist bits micro worms interpets liquifry no 1 are all good foods for newly hatched fry @Tbelly
  11. Possible prolapse I would do Epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes 2-3 time's a day Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxants to help your fish reabsorb the prolapse
  12. medaka rice would do well at that temperature and come in a variety of colours
  13. I use blue lab digital pH pen very reliable accurate to 0.1 only needs recalibrating once a month stay clear of the cheap pH pens on Amazon they are very inaccurate and are poorly made
  14. As you have it to hand i use E.M erythromycin melafix isn't a very effective medication you can dose the tank but it's more effective in food he's how a dose maracyn in food use 1 quarter of a packet of maracyn one table spoon of pellets one scoop of seachems focus 1 cap of garlic guard a few drops of water mix well feed twice a day for 7 days store any leftover medicated food in the fridge if your noticing no improvement after your first full course of maracyn then I would treat with kanaplex it's a more broad spectrum antibiotic treatment
  15. What I would do is keep dosing with ick x for 3 more days I would add the maracyn to food he's how I dose maracyn in food I use 1 quarter of a packet of maracyn one table spoon of pellets one scoop of seachems focus 1 cap of garlic guard a few drops of water mix well feed twice a day for 7 days store any leftover medicated food in the fridge or you could keep dosing maracyn daily alongside ick x but it will be less effective
  16. They are nice looking crayfish like the orange I had a Couple of blue crayfish over ten years ago can't remember which species
  17. If theirs no ammonia I would be learning towards Red blotch disease best treatment is a broad spectrum antibiotic treatment like kanaplex or maracyn2 would treat with kanaplex in food
  18. Possible Cyclops free food for your fish
  19. You could add some wonder shell or feed them some hikari shrimp cuisine or shrimp king snail stixx as an added source of calcium
  20. Am not sure how much of the medication purigen would have adsorbed in 5 minutes I wouldn't redose you can usually start to see the fish expel the worms with in a few hours of treatment make sure you do a thorough gravel vacc to remove as many of the worms and eggs from the substrate as possible and retreat once a week for three weeks
  21. Typically you want to with ick x for 3 days after you see the last spots you can dose maracyn daily with ick x it will be less effective as you have to do daily water changes with ick x and that will lower the concentration of maracyn @KennyMcLenny
