He looked OK this morning and made it through all 5 minutes of 3% salt bath (I worked up to it this time - he had no problem with 2%). But he's not responding to being scooped up anymore. I moved him into his own tub for now so he doesn't get pushed around too much but he has very little gill movement. The other fancy looks alright. He's still eating and swimming but his gill movement looks exaggerated. I think I should stop with the salt baths. Should I try something else? The oxy will be here Friday. Do I just have to wait? This seems like its getting so bad SO fast. Any ideas what might be causing this? Are you Metroing this fish? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mighty 2 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Woohoo meds came early! So I went ahead and dosed it according to the container. The container says 1/4 tsp per 40 gallons everyday for 10 days with 25% wc before each treatment. The website says something way different. Like 1 tsp for every 10-50 gallons. Should I just keep following the first one? Edited July 20, 2017 by Mighty Edit: For the oxytetracycline hydrochloride 100% 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the OP said this is what the container says. "The container says 1/4 tsp per 40 gallons everyday for 10 days with 25% wc before each treatment." Site "Dose at 1 tsp per 10-50 gallons depending on severity of infection. Re-treat every 24 hours for 10 days. Do a minimum 25% water change before each retreatment. Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride is a bacteriostatic that works on a few gram negative and many gram positive bacteria. Especially good for aerobic gram positive bacteria like streptococcus and staphylococcus. Best in pH below 7.6 unless mixed in food. It is not skin absorbed. High calcium neutralizes it. It will harm nitrifying bacteria. It combines well with Kanamycin Sulfate and Metronidazole for an ultra broad spectrum treatment." Can we get a photo of what the container says 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shakaho 6,312 Posted July 21, 2017 I suggest you contact Angels Plus, point out the conflicting instructions and ask which you should follow. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mighty 2 Posted July 22, 2017 Thank you guys, it looks like my fish is getting better. He is eating voraciously I contacted angels plus and he fixed the dosing error. It's supposed to be 1/4 tsp per 10-50 gallons. He suggested I use 1/4 tsp per 20 gallons. It doesn't look like any of my other goldfish caught it so hopefully I'm out of the woods now.. and if not, at least I will have the meds ready 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mighty 2 Posted July 25, 2017 I have been steadily losing a handful of fry everyday (out of 80). I crushed one near-dead fry under the scope and found what appears to be a Chilodonella infestation. I was never able to identify anything with my Jikin scrapes but I wonder if that could be what killed them. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
