I have a 55g planted community tank. I discovered my fish flashing from possible introduction of gill flukes, so I started treating the water with prazipro and metro. Apparently all of the fish I bought or were given to me from other sources had several parasites and I was an idiot for not...

Am I missing something? :)

Sorry for such a late reply. My package did not have expiration either. I regret not refrigerating it since it was so expensive, but I have it in there now. I wanted to do an update on my fish. They are still alive and doing well. The one still twitches, but I think it's due to permanent nerve...

Haven't treated since my last post. Corys still stable. I was told on another forum that they look okay for the most part. Still tail curling and twitching persist on the one. Don't think that will go away. I'm going to wait a couple weeks then add one more cory to see if it gets "infected" by...

Argh, well that is bad news. I had no idea. I asked him about using metro with romet when I first got the medicine and he said it was okay, but only if I can get both dosages correctly into their system. It'd be hard to feed them both romet and metronidazole at the same time, since my romet food...

Update time. So they've been on romet for about a week now. I have not seen much improvement, if at all. They are about the same as they were before treatment. There is still tail curling, twitching, brief losses of balance and redness. I don't know if whatever they have/had has caused...

It'd definitely be a nice medicine to have around. I imagine it'd be pretty expensive on shipping, but if possible I would press him to ship it in a bubble mailer because he used a shipping option that was unnecessarily expensive in my case. It was a small bag of food put into a big box with...

He only sells on one or two websites right now. He has a search page to see if things are selling in your area, but all the stores I called did not carry medfinn. MedFinn Medicated Fish Food|Medications from DrsFosterSmith.com It was a bit too expensive with shipping and also way more than...

Thanks for your replies. It was pretty hectic here as well with Christmas and all that. My cories are still about the same, dare I say a little better. The redness is going away on the healthier ones. Whiskers are longer. Reduction in the severity of the twitching, more of a small jolt than a...

I regret not writing down the dosages I did, but when I first got the metro and prazipro, I dosed prazipro into the tank as instructed on the bottle and continued treatment for two weeks. Along side this I was soaking their food with metronidazole by seachem and believe putting it in the water...

I'm trying to think of the constants (like the water) and one thing I have not tried is sterilizing the whole tank. It is possible the gravel is hiding something and keeps reinfecting them. I've decided to take the plunge and sterilize everything as best I can with a saturated salt solution...

Yeah, I am pretty upset to see them like this. I really care about my fish :( I have actually posted on about 4-5 different forums (including planet catfish) and I update them all. I haven't gotten any game changing information. No one seems to know what the hell this really is, it doesn't...

I was planning on getting a larger tank, which I think I mentioned earlier in the thread, but I do not think it is appropriate at this point. My sterbais are dying and there are only 3 at present and I definitely wouldn't want to put healthy cories in with them because whatever this is, it is...

I am not sure where I would buy premixed food medicine. I've looked at several fish stores and have not seen that. I feel that I am running short on time because my fish are getting more ill and if I order online it might take a while. My question is mixing it the same way I did metro safe? I...
