12 Volt Man's Aqueon 150 Gallon Startup Thread

[12 Volt Man]

considering these fish have been in relative isolation (other than the filament barbs) I can only assume that this affliction was probably in this fish from the beginning.

up until now, it has not affected its appetite or growth, it is one of the largest of my school..

will the curse of this tank ever end? LOL

You truely are cursed, but let us know if this stuff works. What is it called and can you get it in the uk? Is it just for general internal parasites, like loaches could have?

those pellets work ok, but I really prefer getting metro or prazi as you can control the dosage in the food better since its really supposed to be dosed mg per kg and those pellets are mainly designed for smaller mass fish. Good luck and hopefully they stay well!

yeah, I truly believe the tank is cursed. nothing I put in this tank seems to work like it should...at least in terms of fish..

thanks

the ones I bought are for pondfish, so they should be fine in terms of larger massed fish.

its these ones:

it contains metro, prazi and levamisole (which is the only thing that works against camallanus worms, although that is not what these fish have)

however, given the curse this tank seems to have, no doubt they will get that next LOL

 

[msjinkzd]

ack! fingers crossed they don't!

 

[12 Volt Man]

well, the good news is all barbs, including the one with the white feces, are eating the medicated pellets..

but the real question is this:

will the healing power of the food be enough to overcome the evil curse that has been cast upon this tank?

LOL

You need to watch the film Drag Me to Hell 12 volt man. It's the story of an old hag cursing your 150 gal tank.

Wow, I too am a massive Evil Dead and Bruce fan. You need to see it, I saw it in the cinema and it blew me away. It's got similar humour and it's fun! Watch it on a big widescreen!
