Kyle murfitt Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Bought a pair of of double red agassizi 3 days ago, female is happy healthy and curious. But the male is in bad shape. He seemed stressed at the store , and since bringing him home he's been very lethargic , staying at the surface, not quite staying upright . Put him into a mature quarantine tank with aquarium salt . If anyone has seen fish do similar or know what might be happening pleeeease let me know. Parameters. Ammonia- 0ppm, nitrates 10 ppm, notrites 0, ph 7 (same as the fish store ) kh 40 gh 120 water temp 75 f. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) If his left has gone grey and he is losing colour it could be Columnaris have you noticed any white patches on his lips Edited November 13, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle murfitt Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Finding that seachem makes the kanaplex but can't find the furan-2 . Specific brand or type of treatment that has it In there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Active ingredient is Nitrofurazone, interesting treatment I looked up the other day (humans used to use it). Also has Doxycycline (antibiotic) and Socium Chloride. Edited November 14, 2021 by xXInkedPhoenixX Typos are lame 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Small tip: when you don't have access to one medication so you're trying to find an alternative with the same active ingredients: go to the manufacturer's website. API, Seachem, etc- it's not always apparent on the product page but they have to post a "safety sheet" per OSHA for handling/hazards etc. The ingredients are listed usually about half way in the report under "mixtures". That's what I did when I was looking up meds to treat a fish of mine this week. Sometimes the clue is in the name but if you don't know what say Nitrofurazone is, FURAn isn't going to clue you in.
