Thank you for taking us through that entire routine. It helped build more confidence (and knowledge) for doing fish care.
John, Great job with these videos. I'm not a Technical guy so i respect simple and straight to the point. I've been learning a lot so when it comes time to buy I'm going to you first Keep up the fantastic work Thank you for sharing your knowledge it's appreciated
Thank you so much for this! I have watched Cory treat all of his incoming fish in quarantine which is what I am going to do. I went and purchased most of the meds I felt I would need, but deworming was iffy, so many different types. I appreciate your direction and information, thanks again!!
finally a video that explains the process, and just how it's done thanks John.
Thanks, of coarse there will be people that will complain about it being too long but it's the only way I know how to do it:-)
@@KGTropicals I too would like to thank you for posting this video. As the saying goes, the devil is in the details and you covered everything in such great detail. 👌🏼🙏🏼
KGTropicals hey I have a question what do you do if only one fish In Your aquarium that shows some white spots but you only have one tank?
@@Darkcloud1983 just treat the tank then it's okay.
How long do u have to leave the carbon out of the filter? Just while you feed them or the entire time they are being medicated?
I don't know if you are reading this @KGTropicals but ur simplistic explaining is whats got me stuck on to your channel. You are amazing at sharing knowledge. God bless u and the missus 🖤
Thanks, John for the great video. I am brand new to the hobby and watch your video's all the time.
Very helpful video, thank you for taking the time to make it👍🏾
Great video... maybe my favorite! I've been waiting for someone to do a real step by step series on diagnosing and medicating - two challenging things to do with the gazillion articles out there, not to mention package directions that confuse the hell out of me! Thank you!
Thanks John on being precise with the treatment.
Awesome John. Thank you so very much for making this video.
Thank you so much! I just pulled all my fish out of a pond outside that was too shallow for winter, and they are flashing and sitting on the bottom not swimming so I know they are all full of parasites. Frogs were in the pond.
This is sooo helpful!
Nice mam I av same ....in
Great video! Thanks for breaking down the steps. Do you run the bloodworms under tap water after thawing ?
very helpful video ,not had much experience with medicating fish The analogy was clear and helped me determent that I definitely have a parasite issue with a few of mine
Thanks John for the superb demonstration watching you from Australia . Very helpful
Nice job John. Demonstrated nice and clear. I wanted to know if the medicines you mentioned would kill bb if added straight to the main tank.
Best video I ever see , talk to the point and very useful , thatswhy I subscribe this channel
Excellent video John. I think that knowing how to treat internal parasites is a must for anyone keeping African cichlids. And treating the food like you demonstrated is way more cost effective than trying to medicate a large tank. Looking forward to part 2 in a few weeks :)
At first i was skeptical to watch a 24 minute video... but it very well done and very detailed
Seen his video like four times and it's always a great video to watch
Great Video John, how long you can leave the Epsom salt in the main tank before water change?
John have you done an update for this video yet how did the fish turn out
Always have all of these on hand. They work wonders!
Awesome video 👍💯❤️
I NEVER knew this. I can't thank you enough...
This was great John! Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks Ben!
@@KGTropicals Well....its 6 years later...where is part 2?!?!??!
I use pellets soaked in Metro and it's been a very effective treatment as long as you catch problems early and your fish are eating. I know Seachem is probably a sponsor but that Metroplex is so expensive compared to pure metro powder, if you have to actually treat a tank the cost can really add up fast. I've also had to treat colonies so rather than just treat the food I needed to take action swiftly and just treat the tank. Thank you for doing these videos, they may save someone some heartache.
How do you treat the tank
Awesome video.. I have a question, how many times a week I feed them using metroplex, Focus, garlic a week and how long??
I'm glad I found your video. My new rams have worms. This is why I always quarantine my plants, fish and inverts!
@Drinking Water yes and I used Epsom salt and API general cure. Neither seemed to bother my corydoras. I made sure to follow the directions on the package, too.
Hi, where is the part 2 of this video? can't find it. thanks
That's so awesome thank you so much I've been frustrated with my fish trying to save them
dude your profile pic is epic 😂
Ok. nice topic video John. I thought it was a live stream today but that's Aquarium Co-Op. .. I will see you there. lol.
Hi, txs for the vid, do i need to remove the act carbon before using garlic? I have 1 goldfish and 10 cherry shrimps in a 10 g tank, txs
Thank you for this awesome info!!!!
Did those fish in the sunken belly video recover with using the metro an focus An garlic guard. Food soak ? I couldn’t find the vid. Thx
Great video/resource. What is the mixture when using General Cure to treat the pellets that I am feeding the fish?
Great video thanks a lot I am currently doing the metro garlic focus..I have question bout paraguard do I take carbon out when I put that in? And I have been treating food everytime I feed my fish is this correct way to do it? Thanks for videos and feedback
I use Paraguard, Methylene blue/Malachite and Clindamycin whenever i find a wild hybrid or A+ specimen.
I could not for the life of me find any definitive answers on google for what medicines to use. Thank you!
I have several 10 gallon planted tanks. Can the products you talked about (including epson salt), be used without affecting my live plants?
This was an awesome video. Very good stuff.
Thanks Steve!
Just got a wild red eye puffer fish yesterday...and he has a live white worm hanging out of his butt :/ Otherwise he is eating well, curious, good color. I fed him white worms an hour before he pooped the live worm, and they look very similar. Perhaps it's an undigested worm? What medications (if it is an internal parasite) is safe for a puffer? Thanks in advance!
I had a great success with Metroplex and my shubunkins and koi. I created a dough from bread and egg and a bit of flour and garlic powder and a dose of the meds. I kneeded it until it became like pizza dough. Then you can make tiny balls and control which fish you throw it too! I believe that can be used for any fish type that is plant based diet. Good luck! (I found that trying to soak pre-formed pellets with that med is not good enough. Fish spit it out and then more of it leaches out into the tank, than gets eaten. I really like my formula)
Just lost a fish to a parasite today. Wish I would have found this vid sooner
Awesome video great recommendations for the medications! (The rhyme though😂)
I have an electric blue jack dempsey that’s been sick for about a week and a half. I started treating the hospital tank the day after I noticed it with prazipro, which was recommended by the local fish store. I wasn’t noticing any results with that so the other day I saw your video and started treating with metroplex, focus, and garlic guard. However he’s not eating. I plan on treating the tank with epsom salt when I get home today. I was wondering if you had any other tips or tricks I could try because I’m starting to worry. Thank you so much.
Great video.
How many time should be use that medicines?
My Regards,
thank you i learn so much on this video
How often can you use general cure and can you use ich and fungal meds along with it?
thank i had 2 fish like that before with the eye problem i didnt know what to do so just let them go so that medication cure your fish?
hello, I know you are recommending paraguard... I saw in Seachem page is for Parasitic Fungal Bacterial and Viral... I have Cupramine on my hands, do you think this can work as well for internal parasites?
Thank you for advice
Can you please show me part 2 ? I checked videos but I couldn't found it .
I just wanna follow the treatment .
Thank you
Thank you for your service!!
Hi Thanks for the information on this video.
Please advise me can I use api general cure in the water instead of in food because my discus fish refuse medicated food!
Also please also advise me what shall I do in future to prevent my fishes from parasites, please note I do not feed life food I only feed standker beef heart and granules
Thank you
will the fish eat the garlic infused food if they're not eating anything?
I use Melafix to treat isolated fish in a tank and to treat a tank with new fish (use for 3 days). I recently had to treat a couple African Cichilds. The Frontosa was not himself and had cloudy eyes a newer fish had body and fin damage. I removed them and treated a 20 gallon tank with Melafix and they are doing fine now. I've also soaked pellets in Epsom salt every so often to keep them regular.
My dwarf gourami died, he had a parasite called Hexamita. My fish actually had a swollen stomach. My Aguaculturist specialises in ornamental fish diseases. He opened up my fish and saw the parasites under a microscope.. I am lucky enough to have a specialist in the field in my neighbourhood..
Can the other fish get this from an infected fish?
not so lucky enough cus it died
Thanks John this video gives me the courage to treat my 120. Seems fish all have internal parasites they came from my 220.I am going to make your food also. If this works I'm going to treat all my tanks and get rid of this nasty Parisite forever. Great video learned a lot I did not know. Thanks! 🐟🐟🐟
Thanks! I'm glad I could help!
SUCH GOOD INFO
Hey love your youtube channel :D. I bought api general cure powder but i dont know how long should I do the cycle that they recommend. Can someone help out ? tank you
So... how many times should this be done? (And for how long)
I'll be doing this very soon... seems the last couple fish I picked up weren't the healthiest
Thank you so much for this video ! I hope I can save my fish ...
Thank you , you explain thing very simple. One question , I want to treat my 55g tank with epson salt, most of the fish has a slight sunken belly but I have my tumbler with eggs in it , will it harm the eggs?, should I move them to my other tank?, TIA !!!
What happened to part 2
How often do I put the Epsom salt in? Just one time per water change?
Also could I use powder garlic or minced garlic in with blood worms? Would that work as well?
I saw brownish, worms coming from my angelfishes vents. Its stomach is bloated, not sunken in. What type of parasite do you think it is?
Do you think it is okay to mix repashy with your ingredients and freeze it first so I can store it for future use? When it is time to medicate the the fishes, I would soak in water for a few minutes to thaw it. Also at this time, can I continue to daily dose with paraguard while treating the fishes with medicated food?
I just had a very established 76 Gallon chiclid tank literally die off(all 14 fish) within a week and a half's time. Even a very hardy pleco. I have NO idea what happened. This was shortly after a big cleaning. Nothing I haven't done in the past though. Even new fish I introduced after the cleaning died. I tested for ammonia and nitrates, no issues there. PH good too. I used all clean and contaminant free containers and tools to do the cleaning. I am shocked and pissed. Dont know what happened. It all started with one fish with a cloudy eye, then like wild fire fish became chalky ashy in color, lethargic and slapping against the rocks and glass and one by one just died. I treated with salts and meds no help at all. Tank is now running fish less. I am fearful to do anything. I am two seconds from throwing the whole thing in the garbage and starting from scratch. Any thoughts? Any idea how i can thoroughly test the water to see if something is the culprit?
make sure no scented Epsom salt
Hi Can you please help me. I have marina i25 cartridge that I put on my hang on filter i25. And I’m after dosing my tank with para quard. And They say take out carbon but how can I take out my media if I do then I have no media in my fliter???
Can I mix general cure and focus into food to treat goldfish possibly with internal parasites?
Hey love the videos , some of the most helpfull and Understandable info that I have come across yet on UA-cam . Your channel saves me so much time because after watching your channel I have the information that I was desperately looking for and I can finally take care of my tanks! Thank you ! Btw I don't want to be the guy that complains about your content because it's good. But your videos normally come thru choppy and the audio and video generally lag I think you already are aware of this, I just wanted to see if you have thought of getting a faster internet service to help this problem . Any ways thanks for the great content ! Hope the quality can get a little better soon I think it wold do you a lot of good too.
That only happens during the live streams. I tried to upgrade my internet but it turns out I've got the fastest speed they have available:-( Hopefully it'll get better soon:-)
Who's your internet provider I'm gonna give them a call and tell them that's just unacceptable , don't they know you've got fans ! Just kidding butt seriously .
How many of these treatments will the fish need? Just one? Do you skip a day in between and do a total of 3 treatments?
Also, the Garlic Guard sounds great for the fish but my cats try to drink out of the tanks, they’re obsessed with it and garlic is a huge no no for cats. Is there an alternative for the flavoring?
(And yes I try hard to keep my cats out of the tanks but when I’m doing maintenance and have the lids off, they’re better at sneaking into it while I’m doing things and distracted. I just don’t want to take a chance on that happening.)
I've got my baby black moor with sunken belly and clamped fins in a 10 gal hospital tank. Treating with aquarium salt and API General Cure. How long should he stay quarantined? I'm dosing as directed on the package with 50% water change every 48 hrs. Today is day 2 and no change yet. He is still eating but, not the usual voracious appetite. Thanks for your advice!
My betta has intestinal worms but he won't eat anything except pellets. Not even blood worms! Is the Metroplex specifically for ingestion or can it be added to his water?
After one treatment on the paragurad should you notice any difference in the fish? Or do I have to treat fish 5 days then notice any difference in the fish? How dose it work?
How often should u use para guard as a preventive main
Hi,
My green terror has bloated belly. Looking active but gasping no problems in swimming. This problem is for past 2 weeks. Giving hikari chichlid and tetra bit food.
Not overfeeding giving once in a day.
What to do now?
Only one green terror is there don't know whether male or female.
Thanks this really is helpful since I noticed the other day my bettafish had white string of poop and I need to treat him soon
Good afternoon
I hope everything going well and thank you for the vídeo… I have a question, I’ve treated 2 of my fish in my hospital tank with a paracleanse because their pooped turned out to be white , I already finish the treatment but One of them still doesn’t want to eat and is very skinny but still alive. Yesterday I did the 25% water change. Do I need to wait 2 weeks to do the treatment again or i can do it now ???… and also in my regular tank I still have one clownfish and one angel but today the ángel doesn’t want to eat can i do the treatment on my regular tank and the shrimps and snail going to be ok ?
If i was to medicate my whole tank would it harm any plants or change the ph in my tank?
So two cubes is about 1 tablespoon of food? Also, can you just freeze/unfreeze the food however many times that's needed?
Hello please tell me do i have turned off filtration when i medicate fish with metronedozole?
White poop can also show itself when you net the tank... Ive never seen it hanging from my fish... but I have found it when I was netting bits of food out of the tank...
Great video.. Treating my fish now hope it works.. Thank you
Thanks John. Very informative. How long will you feed the medicated food?
The manufacturer recommends to treat every 48 hours for up to 3 weeks or until the symptoms are no longer present:-)
hi can i check if there was a part 2 in the end. i try to search through but cannot find. TIA
Thanks for info your great at explaining
Paraguard will treat for internal parasites? I've used it for ich, but not internal parasites.
So treating the whole tank with epsom salt how many time?. Most of my fish has sunken belly. thx
Hello... Does PARAGUARD colour the decorations or the silicone of the tank??
Hello do you know if you can treat for internal and external at the same time i want to make sure my fish are clean??
Parasites drop eggs as part of their life cycle. Nobody ever addresses this. So pulling 1 sick fish out and treating it may not do any good for the rest of the tank. Plus if their is 1 sick fish how do you know for sure none of the tankmates are infected but not showing signs yet?
Paraguard is used for about 2 weeks. Which is intended to kill the eggs that have in your aquarium.
I agree, don't you treat the whole tank?
Does paraguard actually treat internal parasites? I have clown loaches with skinny disease which I think is internal parasites.. ive had so many different things recommended but thought paraguard was for internal?
Shona Dew Paraguard is for ectoparasites (external)
He actually said that he used Paraguard on his general tank
Is Garlic Guard safe for Vampire Plecos?
Lol
No
Chad Davis lmao
Only if you use Holy Water!
Keep the tank away from the sun
Ok, Does this also work on salt water fish? Except for the Epson salt...?
Very informative but where is the follow up?
Hi I'm watching from Kachin! Myitkyina!
Can you tell me the approximate amount of Metronidazole in mg cos I cannot have access to products in the US I only have Metro for people here and I want to know?
Once the thin white intestine is hanging out of a fish and you treat the tank, what do you do about the intestine? Does the fish live out its life with an external intestine now?
Does the Absent salt work for salt water fish would you recommend to do this during the corentin When you 1st get the fish from the store
