Did you administer both treatments together? Too hard on sick fish..
My last one was about £7 I think.Thanks Mike, I didn't realise they had consumables involved, can I ask what the filaments cost to replace?
Thanks

Do you think this is wrong?
Its hard to judge but i would have done a second dose 4 days kusuri to cover also hex parasite. Then wait for a couple of weeks. What is the Esha for? Does it treat internal bacterial infections because majority antibacterial meds dont...If it doesnt.. its only an addional stressor...meds can make things worse when one is panicking and overdoing it.
can I be fairly sure that if it continues it is bacteriological.
In an aquarium environment this can occur within a few hours - especially in an already weakened/wasting/chronic disease fish (likely the first pathogens were already established before death)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
The one thing that I was wondering about is feeding.
I have been feeding jbl plankton pur and some tetra granules (I've forgotten which). However whilst feeding this morning I noticed that the general consensus from the danios is that they like to 'approach-food-and-be-next-to-it' rather than eat the stuff, I don't know whether this is because they where fed last night as well.
Don't worry or stress unduly...whatever the disease usually it's just the fish with a compromised immune system that succumb, so there is no need to strip and disinfect.If I have to tear it down and disinfect it it's going to be sad and pricey (plants etc).

We've all been there, many of us with celestials, and it can be very disheartening - but sometimes all you can do is let the disease run its course.
Stick with it I'm sure it'll come good eventually.
Daily water changes of ~25%
seeing how that goes, and then possibly doing another course of the wormer, and or esha EXIT which seems to be anti parasite (unless anybody has any other medication recommendations?) I would be medicating based only on treatments I can find that are shrimp safe
How are things going?

That's good news, sounds as though things are settling down in your tank.Hi All,
Sorry, been very busy so haven't been on here much.
As things stand there are 5 CPDs left, most seem very active (breeding and producing fry, although the fry do not survive). One is exibiting the same closely held fins behaviour, but hasn't died yet.
Does anyone have any experience with fry? whether I can do anything for them (food etc?) and whether they survive much?
Many thanks!
