Fungus/White Growths/Flashing and Nitro, Metro, Kanamycin

[ragin_cajun]

6 days of Nitro and Metro, in the water -- I think the white growths are gone now. I have a fish that started flashing -- that's new. Yesterday I did a big WC, no meds other than food soaked in Metro. I have 2 new fish with the white poop, won't eat, just laying on the bottom. I think I'll get a bunch of egg crate, divide up the tank, and just treat for Hex with medicated food. Metro in the water doesn't seem to do anything for Hex. I've had new fish develop symptoms of Hex during the 6 days of water treatment.

The trimac is doing better, he ate medicated krill yesterday and today, swimming around a good bit now. So, that's better. I had moved him to a smaller tank and put him behind a divider so he wouldn't get beat up at night.

The Trimac is fine now, and he's back in the big tank where he belongs.

I put a divider in the big tank and put all fish with stringy poop and not eating behind that so I can catch em easy. So, that's a Bifa, 2 Syns, and a large Breidohri all together behind that. The Syn's were about 4 inches, I thought sure they'd die, but they're eating now. The Breidhori took a LONG time to start eating again, just started eating today. The Bifa I caught pretty early, she just started eating today, too. So that's 5 fish in this tank with Hex, and it's taken 9 days to get them all back right again--assuming nothing else happens.

Hex is some BAD stuff. Spreads, too. All these fish ended up getting the pipette in the gut with Epsom salt treatment--which is not as easy to do as it sounds. I think you have to get meds inside of them--metro or epsom salt.
