My Hospital Tank

[Lornek8]

I wasn't familiar with the rapashy foods so had to look it up. The soilent green has 25% algae but a lot of meaty foods as well. It has a high percentage of protein which doesn't necessarily mean a lot as spiraling has a lot of protein but the list of ingredients has a large number of animal proteins. This can also be said for hikari algae wafers as well.

Could very well be related to bullying as well.

I personally would add something for the fish to hide in to lower stress, though this would depend onthe type of fish you keep as to what sort of cover would be more suitable .

By keeping it basic with just the necessities should make it easier for you to keep clean when you are housing fish in there

:hi:
And also do not forget a few grey nurse sharks to look after the sick fish(not)But do not add medications like multi cure or fungus cure or white spot remedy as bristlenose and plecos cannot stand them even in tiny amounts and it kills all the good bacteria in the tank,I suppose it can only be esed to disinfect a diseased/secondhand/used tank

Do you worm your fish?

 

[Ike]

I don't have the medication to worm them yet, I never got this deep in the hobby before. I ordered two medications and they should be here this week... Unfortunately though two of my patients passed away this weekend... I moved 5 to the hospital tank and two died. the other three look well, and I am hoping the best for their recovery.

The medications I am getting are the following:

Flubendazole

and

Levamisole

I'll be keeping up with water changes and the pima/melafix and hope for the best. I'll keep this updated if I can.

You should look at hikari prazipro. It's an excellent wormer and very gentle. I used it with all my wild-caught places. The meds you've ordered have worked for others in the past but can be difficult to use and get good results out of.

Hey thanks, this is the first I've heard of that Med, I'll start looking for some.
