Mattyd123 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Tank parameters well planted Ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 5ppm PH 7.5 Gh 20 Kh 8-10 Hey guys little update on my Asian rummy nose (sawbwa resplendens) who seemed to have some kind of wasting disease. It seems after several weeks of treating with Esha NDX, ESHA GDEX and Esha 2000 which covers internal and external parasites, internal Bacteria and fungus issues It seems that the 3 who were not eating have slowly started to pick at bits of food in the aquarium and definitely seem a lot more to active so its looking hopeful at the moment! I think it was the esha 2000 which i am still dosing daily was the cure and i am suspecting the cause was internal Bacteria But anybody who has these fish or gets them in the future i can tell you they appear to be very resistant to medications which is good as i has previously heard that they were very sensitive “scaless” fish I also highly recommend them they are really fun little fish to watch with the males having little sparring matches to win over the ladies. I also recommend ESHA products to all my UK friends as an alternative to the med trio, all the products above are shrimp safe, filter safe and plant safe and they also have videos on youtube that are really honest and comprehensive on each product.

It seems after several weeks of treating with Esha NDX, ESHA GDEX and Esha optima which covers internal and external parasites, internal Bacteria and fungus issues It seems that the 3 who were not eating have slowly started to pick at bits of food in the aquarium and definitely seem a lot more to active so its looking hopeful at the moment! I think it was the esha optima which i am still dosing daily was the cure and i am suspecting the cause was internal Bacteria But anybody who has these fish or gets them in the future i can tell you they appear to be very resistant to medications which is good as i has previously heard that they were very sensitive “scaless” fish I also highly recommend them they are really fun little fish to watch with the males having little sparring matches to win over the ladies.

I would recommend doing another course of ESHA Gdex and ESHA ndx ESHA optima it a vitamin and mineral to boost the immune system that why your seeing a benefial effective it won't type internal bacterial infection's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyd123 Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Oh woops thats my bad i meant to write esha 2000 which is the bacteria one! I got confused because i am using optima as well but I’m not entirely sure if that’s doing anything positive or negative 😂 sorry for the confusion so I’m doing a daily dose of optima currently and i do plan on redosing ndex and gdex at the 2 week mark in order to kill any potential hatching parasites that may be active will exit the original post just now Edited December 30, 2022 by Mattyd123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
