Sandra the fish rookie Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 This morning, I medicated my fish using the quarantine trio. I did a water change and used fritz complete. I just read online that they can not be used together. I have a HOB, large sponge filter and an air stone in the 10G. This tank was been issues with nitrites and ammonia which has now resolved. I am using a seeded filter from my cycled 20G to insure my bacteria is maintained. I also dosed using Fritz zyme 7 yesterday as well. Do I need to do something? Water change??? should I be worried?

Or... if you’d rather not disclose... can you share a quote about it? Are your fish sick? Or are you just dosing “new fish”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emika_B Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Sandra the fish rookie - I'm using Fritz Complete and the med trio in my quarantine tank and haven't had any issues with it. Do know that the meds will throw off testing results so keep an eye and nose on the fish. They'll let you know if something's not quite right. If you feel the water needs to be changed because you're seeing signs of fish distress, then go ahead and change it. Give the fish a few days, maybe a week, to rest up and try the meds again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second I read it.. I came right to the form to search and did not see it anywhere but wanted to ask people that know WAY more about this hobby than I do! I am just doing the QT meds and will dose 1 more paracleanse because they are guppies and want to make sure they are okay. I had 1 fish die, but it did not look sick but might have been the ammonia/nitrite spike I had in there. The rest are all acting fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Some water dechlorinator are sulfonate based and can effect meds such as prime Fritz complete you can use API stress coat with the med trio Edited May 1, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Maybe the key is, “if it stinks, don’t use it with Ich-X” 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
