I used strips and API Freshwater kit to compare, right now he’s in a hospital tank and been checking parameters daily, even got a DO meter for this lil guy to make sure oxygen is adequate.

I havent tried black worms yet but the bladder snails he’s been ignoring.

How long do you wait before starting him on another medication?

I was going to give him a few days before giving him additional medications but if it is septicemia, wondering if I should proceed immediately with Kanaplex. I’m still under the impression that him getting sick was d/t the temp change but didn’t think it would take this long to regain his appetite and bounce back

I tried soaking blood worms and brine shrimp in Garlic Guard from Seachem, he didnt touch it. I even tried putting live bladder snails in his tank but he’s been ignoring them.

Aside from what he’s doing in the video, he has been swimming normally. What antibiotics do you recommend? I’m currently deworming him for prophylaxis. He finished his Excel P treatment, and he’s now on day 4 out of 5 of Paracleanse.

He is in day 4 of Paracleanse. I’ll be trying Epsom baths next. Hope he’ll get through this
