Please share your expertise to solve this confusing problem.
I just started treating one sick fish (newly purchased) in a hospital tank with Mardel Maracyn tablets + Maracide. (The fish has Ick and maybe fungus) The instruction says to add a dose daily for 5 days. However, my hospital tank is only 2,5G, and I have to change 100% water every 48 hours to avoid ammonia build up.
Should I still add one dose after changing the water, or add as much as it was in the old water plus the new dose? Does medication lose its power after 24 hours, or it still remains and accumulates in the water if you don't do water change?
Please give your opinion. Thank you
