Cyst or bacterial infection?
KrystalPR replied to KrystalPR's topic in Disease Diagnosis/ Treatments

No I don't... I think I should get new hoses for the canister, just noticed there seems to be some kind of sludge looking thing growing on them! -

Oh No! Now another one of my babies is sick! This time it's Goldy my oranda (he had a previous near death illness a year ago and the presentation is very similar to today's). He's pineconing a bit and was laying sideways on the tank's bottom. I can't do it until the weekend but I decided to do a full tank cleaning (filter medias and rinsing all of the tank's sand). I do 75-100% w/c weekly - but its been a while since I've done a full on substrate cleaning (other than surface vacuuming). Checked levels and all was ok: ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 0-10. I'm starting to worry I've got something bad in my main tank... Anyways I can't setup a second qt tank until tomorrow so I put him in with Clarence after weighing him in at 64g. Tried feeding MM but he kept spitting them out - probably only ate like 4 pellets out of the 10 I gave him Will setup second QT tomorrow and probably will have to syringe feed him if he doesn't want to eat he takes the pellets but spits them out after a few seconds... Here he is floating around the qt tank PS Clarence is great - shedding some of his scales were the big lump was, but looking great otherwise. -

Hi everyone! Just wanted to update you on Clarence's progress - things are going great! He's swimming normally again and looks a whole lot better He's still a little pineconed but a little less everyday. I'm doing 100% w/c every other day. He's been on MM for 4 days now - will finish the 14 day cycle... -

Hi everyone! Clarence is starting to look a lot better now the lump on his right side has shrinked some and he is now swimming normally! The pineconing is still there but less marked than a couple of nights ago... Here's a video of him today: -

Yay! MM arrived Clarence already ate up his first dose - he'll be getting 29 pellets daily... He ate 10 of those tonight already! Pineconing is still there - I've seen no difference with the epsom salt in... Here are some more pics and a video of him eating his last pellets (he was almost full when I decided to take a video) and swimming. -

Hi everyone! Today's update: the redness has diminished a lot - still there but not as intense as the other night... Clarence is a fighter - he's eating all of his gel food and moving around a lot more - within his current movement capabilities that is... No MM yet - crossing my fingers so maybe when I get home from work they're here. -

Ok so I made a batch of 50g of food with 500mg of metro inside. I weighed Clarence in at 58g so ~0.5-0.6g daily feedings of metro gel food for the little guy... I think I hurt him a bit while moving him to be weighed - wiggled a lot while being transferred Hopefully the redness will go away... -

Adding epsom salt right now! Thanks so much tithra for all your help - it's very stressful watching him blow up like that He's always been such a fun and active little guy! -

I forgot to say he's a big food hog - he's still got his appetite untouched *thankfully* -

I only have a notice that the mm shipped on tuesday. I think they should be here hopefully by Saturday, Monday at the latest. I do have some Metro pills and repashy is the only thing my goldies eat... What are the instructions to follow to prepare medicated food with repashy? I have metro dissolved in the water right now - can I add epsom salt? How much for the 10g qt? -

The only thing I've noticed is that his eye looks a little better but that's it so far... My little guy is pineconing a little more every day -

Dissolve it, and add 200 mg per 10 gallons. Do 100% WC every two days and redose. Hopefully the MMs will come sooner rather than later. Thanks Alex you're always a life saver
