Caidenh24 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I have a redtail shark and she usually chases other fish but recently she has just been sitting at the bottom of the tank not touching the other fish. She also has been itching a lot. My question is what should I dose my aquarium with? I have prazipro. Also one of my mollies might have a disease so to help from spreading can I use a UV Sterilizer or will that like counter act the medicine. Thanks!

Colu Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 What are your water parameters when you say itching how often is it rubbing of on thing in the tank is it eating ok what is wrong with your Molly if you can take a picture that would help with a diagnosis if your treating with medication you should turn your UV steriliser and remove any active carbon from your filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrate-20 Nitrite-0 Gh-0. My Molly looks like what it did when it was trying to breed with my other Molly. The top of it on the face is white and it looks like scales coming off. Should I turn on it or turn it off? I also have plants in there is the Uv sterilizer would effect it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 If it's does have a fuzzy appearance then I would do a course of Jungal fungus clear fizz tabs containing nitrofurazone and then I would follow up with a course of prazipro for your redtail black shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it is just rubbing from trying to breed with the female? It has happened before. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 It's possible you might want to do a preventive treat just in case something else is going on I would treat your red tail black with prazipro I would 2 course of treatment 2 weeks apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says to dose once every 3 days so would I dose it once and then 3 days later dose again and then wait 2 weeks and do the same thing again? Thanks!
