Treating Hexamita aka Spironucleus

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Good tips, thanks Mike! I had no idea that aquarium stores sold it too.
 
Yes, good advice Mike. Fortunately I just found and ordered some from a Thai online health store, http://www.thaiorganiclife.com in case any other members in Thailand need it.

In fact though I think I might have jumped the gun on the HITH worry -- just took my first up close look since yesterday and I can't even find the little mark that was on his head. Besides a 30% water change yesterday after noticing the mark, I've fed him twice with fresh garlic juice soaked pellets. Not sure if that helped or not (could have also been the vitamin supplement I added after water change, or both), but again no mark now (and to note, there was never any kind of 'pimple' and his usual active/aggressive behavior and voracious appetite never changed).

I'll keep monitoring him of course, and as a preventive measure I'm still going to give him epsom salt soaked pellets for 2-3 days after that arrives.
 
i saw white poop coming out....

help me guys....i gave my flowerhorn his pellets soaked with epsom salt and distilled water(battery water) as said above he didn't accecpt his food so i injected... he's kind of lethargic now !

help me is it a problem ?? i have metronidazole tabs too...

what i have to do now ?
 
RD. RD. Since my FH has been refusing pellets lately, I was thinking of soaking some NLS pellets in 3% epsom solution then feed to superworms before feeding the FH..
Is it a little far fetched? Will the epsom lose its effectiveness from the sw to the FH?

See if your FH will eat freeze dried worms like meal worms or super worms or even freeze dried whole krill.
 
Or inject live worms, right before feeding.
