When your Basa fish gets to big for the 125g you can eat it, lol. I've eaten lots of it before, it's good. Cousin to the American catfish

Also Kyle. Might be a good idea to start your own thread rather than tagging onto someone elses.

Hi all
thanks for the replies, in answer to charlie, only the shark was looking sick when i medicated. The 2 barbs were acting as normal and showed no signs of ill health so thats why im so surprised they died. In future if i was to use medicine again id make sure i only treat the sick fish and not the entire tank.

Yeah, that's always better. And giving it to them mixed in food is a better way, and cheaper too. Hikari and aquarium science and aquarium co-op all have a recipe to make medicated food just fyi

What has always worked best for me is Hikari ich-x or Kordon rid ich plus. You need to use a full dose for 7 days, turn up the heat to 87 or 88. And vacuum the substrate with a water change every other day. I fought ich for a month once, then I used those products (they're the same ingredients, so doesn't matter which one you use) and did that other stuff and it cleared up in a few days. 7 days to make sure it's gone. The tetras will die tho, so put them in something else where they can get a half dose.
