He is still resting in the coconut hut. You mentioned it might take a while for an improvement, I'm worried that he might just not make it through the treatment. Yes I have Ich-X I purchased the smaller bottle- just to have on hand when I QT new fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I would put 1 dose of ich x in and leave till you finished your Frist Couse of maracyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he was dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MollyMomma Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 4 hours ago, Colu said: Sorry to hear he didn't make it Thank you, I think it was bacterial Septicemia with a secondary fungal infection. I read up on it & did some research, it says Nitrofurazone like in API-FURAN 2, would treat it. But my other Cory looks a lot better, there is one poorly looking Cory left from the order- but the barbells are regrowing, so i stopped using MARACYN, I added Indian Almond leaf, and 50% WC every other day, seems to be helping. I still cannot get the Maracyn froth on the aquarium surface to go away, I contacted fritz, they said continue WC & patience, and to turn down air stones/sponges if it is really bad. So hopefully the other Cory continues to improve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
