Queens4Fish 9 Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Hi There! My new Ranchu Xena has been in QT for 3.5 weeks now with salt as indicated.

fantailfan1 26,742 Posted February 17, 2017 All the fish are in the same tank and this is the only one having problems? Will you post pics of the wen, tail and new red spots? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queens4Fish 9 Posted February 17, 2017 Hey Fantail, Titus is in the main tank. New Chu and Ryu in QT. New Ryu no sympoms. Just Chu afected. You can actually see the spots in the video I think, just small, will get you another pic asap! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Queens4Fish 9 Posted February 17, 2017 What on earth is that ladies ;( ? And what do I do? I've only had her 3 weeks it can't be what I've done can it?? Should I move the other fish out of there to the main tank? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fantailfan1 26,742 Posted February 18, 2017 Yes, go ahead and treat the chu only (no the other fish) with that. The tail looks like regrowth/healing. No need to worry about that. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queens4Fish 9 Posted February 19, 2017 OK! Thanks so much ☺️?? Should I just follow the packet instructions or is there a special recommended Kokos way, like with the praziquantel rounds!? QFFx 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantailfan1 26,742 Posted February 19, 2017 What are the package instructions? I've never used it . . . . 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queens4Fish 9 Posted February 19, 2017 I used it once before in combination with Kanaplex a long time ago but it was in conjunction with prazi under jared's instructions for unidentified fish sickness!! Package instructions are: medicate (1 tablet to 22.5 L) day 1,2,3 water change on day 8 = 1 round. x 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantailfan1 26,742 Posted February 19, 2017 I looked up some info on the med and it says it's active for up to 3 days after it's added. So it would make more sense to me to add it day 1, 3 and 5. I would medicate day 1 then do a 100% WC day 3 and medicate. Then do a 100% WC day 5 and medicate. It also said that external signs may take up to 7 days to improve so don't expect miracles right away. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
