The skinny danio can recover with the right treatment(as previously said except for fish TB but I seriously wouldn't jump on that horse so fast)
Thanks,
Unfortunately this one didn't make it, I found it dead on Saturday, and it had been that way long enough to grow a fine fuzz of long strands, I'm not sure whether the others may have fed on it before I found it. As it was hidden away under some hair grass, I did t spot it immediately.
I treated with the wormer plus last Thursday, but don't want to overdo it as there are shrimp in the tank as well.
I have also treated with esha 2000, which appears to be a broad antibiotic, started the course on Saturday - it's a three day course, not sure if I can overdose.
There are two more fish that seem like they have wasting, so I'm partly expecting them to die also, if they did this would bring the deaths to 4 out of nine.
Can I ask everyone;
- Is there anything else I could treat with? or is it just wait and see.
-What should I feed? I gave them some daphnia, and they appeared to enjoy them, also most fish are eating or at least attempting to eat. but the daphnia are arguably a bit large for these guys.
-should I give medication in food? Or medicated food? If so which brands and products are any good and does anybody have any tips for administering them?
- is this still a case of 'could be fish TB, could be parasites, could be anything' or now that I have treated with the wormer plus, can I be fairly sure that if it continues it is bacteriological.
- I don't suppose I can reasonably say that the fish must have been ill when I bought them can I? I don't know how long fish tb, takes to develop. Would it have been in my tank, or been in the fish and been triggered by arrival in my tank?
Apologies for the endless questions. And many thanks for everyone's help.
Cheers
