Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted January 8, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi Mandy, Furan (yellow powder) is usually dosed every day while Metro is usually dosed every other day. So, with these 2 combined, I would probably recommend one of these 2 schedules based on the amount of meds you have:1) Daily 100% wc with both meds redosed each time.or 2) 100% wc every other day with double Prime added on the days in between. Yellow Powder added daily for at least 10 days. Metro added every other day after each wc for at least 14 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did my maths right, I have enough Yellow Powder to add 6 doses (5g pack with 0.75g dose) and enough Metro to add 5 doses (10 x 200mg tablets) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helper FishyMandy Posted January 8, 2015 Author Helper Share Posted January 8, 2015 He wasn't to happy for a few hours when the meds first went in, he just sat under the filter, not moving. He is back to his active self again now though, swimming around, eating normally. There doesn't appear to be any change yet in the look of the white stuff that's all over him, but he has only been in the yellow and metro for about 24 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted January 8, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2015 Mandy, will you reduce the Metronidazole to 200mg per 10 gallons rather than 400mg per 10 gallons. I want to stretch the duration out further than 5 days. Continue with the Yellow Powder as directed above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helper FishyMandy Posted January 8, 2015 Author Helper Share Posted January 8, 2015 So water change every 2 days...add the powder everyday (so on the day between water change there will be 1.5g in) and 200mg metro just after water change? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's fine. Just be sure to double Prime the tank on the days when you don't do a water change. I think the Yellow Powder is only potent for 24 hours and not cumulative. I had hoped to go longer with the Powder, but we will work with what you have 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helper FishyMandy Posted January 10, 2015 Author Helper Share Posted January 10, 2015 Here is is in his waterchange bucket, I still can't really get the white stuff to show up on camera. It's mainly on one side. And if you look really closely you can see it over his gill plate and one gill plate looks slightly curved. I can see the stuff better with a torch shining on him so I tried that to get it on the film but it still didn't show up very well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helper FishyMandy Posted January 12, 2015 Author Helper Share Posted January 12, 2015 Um today will be the 5th day dosing it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted January 13, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted January 13, 2015 Do you feel like she is getting better or worse? I would normally use Kanaplex or Furan-2 (or both) for this type of thing, but unfortunately these meds aren't easy to get in Australia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helper FishyMandy Posted January 13, 2015 Author Helper Share Posted January 13, 2015 I definitely don't think its getting better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
