So after 7 days of treating my tank I'm not sure if the Kanamycin worked. I looked at the corys and i can't say they've improved. If anything it may have slowed it down. I noticed on one of my Rasboras that their tail had deteriorated since treating the tank. I'm kinda lost here. Should i...

Alrighty sounds good. Thanks for all the help. I will let you know how the lil guys are doing after treatment

It was kanaplex. I found a good deal on ebay! I did a 50% w/c before dosing. I put the carbond filters in a bag before the actual dose. So my understanding would be do around 50% w/c before my next dose and repeat each day till day 7 and see if there's an improvement? @jlk luckily were getting...

Okay i just got it today and did a water change, and will dose my tank after posting this. I read the directions and know the proper amount to add. My last question would be, do i do a water change at anytime during treatment?

Okay sounds good! I changed it last weekend. It was in there for a little over a month since the time before that.

I just ordered it today and hopefully I can get it before they get worse. My plan will change 30% water every other day until i get the medicine. So should i keep the carbon out the entire time when treating? Or just let it run a couple of hours and then put it back in?

So you're saying be more consistent with the amount of the water I'm changing? It'll be hard to cool it down consistently to the low 70's. I live in the desert with the windows open right now so hopefully it will cool down in the next week or so. I'll definitely try and use the antibiotic you...

There barbels look okay they seem a little short. I'll probably just up my w/c then. Hopefully they make a turn around.

Not that I can think of. Just the Rasboras but they really leave them alone. I took out the carbon and let it run for about 5 hours. And the symptoms didnt occur until a month or two for some of them so it's hard to say if they came with the disease. I was thinking about adding some non...

Thanks for the reply's! For me normal param would be 8.2 pH 0 ammo 0 nitrites 15-25 nitrates. Avg temp is 80. It's a 20 gal tank and has been running since the end of May of this year. The last fish i bought was back in September. I'm almost sure they weren't quarantined before i bought them, i...

I have been experiencing some problems with my fish for awhile now. I started with 6 albino corys and im down to 4 now and will probably loose them too. They seem to bee losing all of the fins as if they were rotting away. I treated my tank with melafix for two weeks and nothing seemed to...

Okay I took the ammo media out and replaced it with a regular carbon yesterday. Thanks for the advice! So just to be clear, my ammo and nitrite will be zero when my tank has cycled? Even with fish in it?

Hey guys I need some advice. I have 20gal regular tank. It's been about 4 weeks fish-in cycle but I don't think it has fully cycled yet. I have 4 albino corys an oto and 3 red apple snails. It is planted with 3 amazon sword, anubis nana and a morimo moss ball. I've been doing daily water...

Hey everyone! I'm a new fish owner. I've had my 20g tank for almost three weeks now and decided to go with a fish-in cycle. I have two albino cory, my new favorite fish, one oto and just added 3 apple snails. I am battling my first algae bloom! I've been reading the forums for some time now and...
