I appreciate the heads up. I’ve seen it recommended several times in different forums so I’m grateful that someone has debunked that for me.

Thank you everyone! Your help is much appreciated! 🥰

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their speedy responses. You all are much appreciated! I posted this a short while ago under the disease topic: I need some help in a bad way! My Albino Paradise fish has something going on that I cannot identify. It’s been going on for awhile now. I’ve looked at hundreds of photos and read almost as many articles. He is in a community tank and the only one that is effected. Eating and swimming normally. I’ve treated with Melafix and Top Fin’s bacterial & fungal treatment and it just seems to be getting worse. Please help!

I didn’t use the salt because I have snails and plants in there. I’ve been treating orally with kanaplex until the rest of the meds get here today. I picked up a sponge filter and a 10 gallon acrylic tank to use in emergencies like this. He was in a 60g planted community tank with snails, no shrimp. I picked up a cheap 10g acrylic tank to use solely as a hospital tank and am treating orally with kanaplex until the rest of the meds arrive today.

I found the Jungle product at Walmart. They had 4 boxes left and I bought them all. It gets really good reviews by other users. Thanks for the info! Much appreciated!

I’ll be going to Walmart in the morning. I’ll keep y’all posted about his progress.

OMG thank you! I’ve called every pet shop within 40 miles and spent a couple of hours searching online. I just checked Walmart for the Jungle product and they do have it in stock. You’re a life saver! Thanks again! 🥰

Thank you for this! @Colu responded to my PM with this recipe. She also recommended furan2 or bifuran+ but they are impossible to find. It seems they’ve been discontinued. I managed to find a box of 10 packets but that only enough for 2 treatments in my big tank. Hopefully the 10g tank I ordered a week ago will be here soon so I can set up a hospital tank. If something doesn’t happen soon, I fear I’ll have to euthanize. 😢

I don’t have the tank yet. Ordered one from modern aquarium about a week ago and I’m still waiting for it. @Colu recommended a couple of meds but furan 2 and bifuran+ are impossible to find because they’ve been discontinued. Someone was asking $100 for a box of 10 packets of furan 2 on eBay 😡

He’s in a 60 gallon community tank. I have neon tetras, an Angel, glow tetras, a koi angel, Emperor Pleco, albino cories, dwarf gouramis, butterfly loaches, and yo-yo loaches. I ordered a tank a week ago to set up a hospital tank. Still waiting for it. @Colu recommended some meds but furan2 and bifuran+ are impossible to find. They’ve been discontinued I guess.

There isn’t any instructions on the jar for oral treatments. I guess I’ll have to do some shopping. I don’t have any focus on hand. I’ve never had any problems to contend with before this so this is very new to me.

@Mmiller2001 I happen to have some Kanaplex but have no idea how to treat orally. The instructions say to use one level scoop per 5gallons of water. I have a 60g tank and not nearly enough Kanaplex to treat the entire tank. I have a 10 gallon tank on the way to use as a hospital tank. It should be here tomorrow.

I sent a private message to @Colu and I also posted in the General Discussion. Hopefully I’ll get some answers soon. It just tears me up to see him in this condition. 😢 I have API. Most of my products are API. I’m reading it now.

@Taco Playz I do have some aquarium salt. I was thinking maybe a salt bath so I don’t hurt the plants or snails. I’ll have to read up on how to do that again.

@Taco PlayzIt does look really bad and I’m at a loss😢. I haven’t seen anything that looks like a fungus or external parasites. Haven’t observed any abuse by any other fish. He’s not flashing at all. He’s breathing normally, behavior is normal, and eats normally. I’ll be setting up a hospital tank soon so I can isolate him instead of treating my entire 60 gallon. I just need to know what to treat him with.

Hello All. I’m still pretty new to fish keeping. I had a 10 gallons n tank for a few years until we moved in January of this year. I used the opportunity to set up a 60g cube in our new house. I’ve learned a lot through lurking in the background of this forum and a gazillion videos. I’m preparing to rescape my tank now that I know how to keep plants alive (I’ve lost many 😅). I still have a LOT to learn and need all of the help I can get!
