Good to know thanks. They have all passed except a blue silver and a blushing platinum. The blue silver has classic symptoms of Hex, facing the corners, spitting food, now not eating at all, clear stringy poop. So i'm almost convinced it was a couple different issues that were throwing me off.
But I am going to move the platium to a new QT tank with new seasoned media ect and no meds. This one has normal poop, it's eating well and looks good, nice and responsive, I think she (or he) might make it. I'll prob toss in a few IALs too.
That’s so disappointing, I do like shopping locally so you can see the fish your purchasing before you drop your money!Thanks! I'm thinking I will shop locally and try to breed pinoy myself. That was my original plan but never got close enough. So tried to cheat and order them in haha. Joke's on me
When fish start spitting food I usually treat with metroplex. Then a round of prazipro upon completion of metroplex. I have always found if you don’t start treatment with the metroplex when you see them spit food immediately then it was usually too late a couple of days later....when they spit pellets I immediately get a frozen food they cannot resist like mysis, blood worms, or brine shrimp and mix it up with the metroplex, let it soak for 15-20 minutes and feed it to them.Good to know thanks.

I don't think I can save the blue silver
That's the thing, I didn't notice a problem for 2 months. Then all of a sudden I saw an angel had a pinhole in the middle of its dorsal fin. Then that same angel suddenly stopped eating well and just declined. That same day I lost the 1st, I noticed the white pit in the forehead of another. Then another angel turned around and I saw the hole! So I was totally thrown off. Like everything hit at once. I tried the mblue and salt because that's what I had. Didn't help. They kept dying one by one until i'm down to 2. I wish I asked for help here earlier, but honestly I don't even know where to get Metro.
Hmmm weird. Not sure what I would do in that situation. Not sure if Epsom salt would have any effect but I could see garlic potentially doing atleast some good if it's something parasitic. Most parasites don't like garlic.
Ok thanks. I will continue the vitamins (Vitachem) and add garlic to food. Can't hurt.
Yeah can't really do anymore damage then what's been done already.
Oh yea, you cannot get metro in Canada...I have one left from before the ban....I would use it if it were expired, it might just not be as effective or less potent.
