Have you tested your water?
Yes
If I did not test my water...
...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.
Do you do water changes?
Yes
If I do not change my water...
...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.
Hi guys, I'm going to treat my sick flowerhorn (hexamita/anal prolapse/appetite loss/weight loss/white poop)
With metronidazole but i can't find a dosage anywhere. He is in a 200L tank, i only have human prescribed metronidazole as in NZ it's nearly impossible to get medication for fish.
He is a super fussy eater and isn't very keen on food at the moment so I'm planning on dosing his water instead of feeding the meds.
I read that 400-600mg per 100L for 3 days is the recommended dosage but there are plenty of other sites that have much longer dosage times etc.
Does anyone have a recommendation?
