Metronidizole on otos and glasscats?

[tygr1203]

Hope i have the right section to post. Can you dose metronidizole for heximita on otos and glasscats? I have an outbreak in my betta sorority and don't know if the cats can handle the medication. Nerites as well.

Did you try this? I would of thought so but have never done it for these fish.

I dont know if it will kill them. They are still alive but seem to breath fast and have red in the gills?

Was this worse after dosing or same? Metro is normally very safe but does seem odd.

I havent dosed the glasscats or otos. I did feed bloodworms dipped in metronidizole but not sure if the glasscats got a hold of them or not (originally betta sorority, theyve all been taken out)

I can't see a problem for those fish (as per dosing instructions). If you notice them looking much worse that night, would maybe do a water change (have to treat though so..).

Ok, I might give that a try
