AndiJade Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Stopped moving, went nose up and was unresponsive. My parameters were zero on everything with 8pH. My calico goldie looked like someone dumped bleach all over her. I scooped her out of the tank in and put her in clean fresh water. 5 hours later she's swimming around and seems ok now. Why would this have happened? 5 more mins and she would have been dead. Only thing in the tank was Prime. Any ideas? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 How long has the tank been up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndiJade Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hi, Not long, a couple months. It's not cycled, not even close. My fish has flukes I've been fighting for quite some time. Has handled every medication I've thrown at her like a champ lol. I tested the water just before I added the Paracleanse, and everything was zero. I had done water changes to get ammonia back down before proceeding with medication. It was as if I threw poison into the tank though, that was the reaction. I have used praziquantel and PraziPro before, no problem. Never have used metronidazole however. But why would this happen? Was it the Prime? I'm still in shock. I threw together a quick temp tank and picked her up and into fresh water in like 2 mins flat. Took about 2 hours for her to start swimming around again. I thought this medication was relatively safe...? I just can't believe it, it happened so quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
