Aquarium Medications: How to Treat Sick Fish
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 кві 2015
- We all want the fish in our aquariums to stay healthy. Unfortunately, like humans, fish may become ill from time to time.
You can dramatically reduce the likelihood of a disease entering your aquarium by purchasing livestock from a reputable source and quarantining all new arrivals before placing them into your display tank. That way, you do not risk exposing healthy fish to a disease or parasite that your new addition is carrying.
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, illness can set in no matter how many precautionary measures we have taken. That is why we are going to share some of the most common and effective fish medications so you will be ready to treat your fish the instant you observe signs of ich, velvet and other external parasites or illnesses.

My gold fish are diying i cant find the reason i have used melachit green and tetracyline but they are countinuosly dieing
What should i do ? You valuevel sugetions are invited plz help me
So, what I'm gonna do if I dont have these things since I'm only 16 yrs old and my grandmother kinda annoys if I'm asking money for anything that isn't beneficial to us or my studies
That Ruby Reef "Reef Safe" medication killed a lot of my corals...
Gosh, I am sorry to hear. Do you think it was the medication or a combination of factors? I have used the Kick Ich a few times with great results it just takes a few repeated doses.
Feel free to reach out anytime to talk tank!
social@marinedepot.com ATTN Robert!
My platys have gill flukes i am treating them with general cure it's really good medication my fish are doing much better. I am going to continue to treat them for another week with no breaks, i want to make sure the parasites are gone for good.. I treat my main tank if one has it they all do btw with ich you don't needs meds just turn up the heat ich is the easiet parasite to get rid of..
Thanks for watching! Marine Ich and Freshwater Ich are two different parasites and do have different treatment procedures, just keep that in mind when looking at medications.
In the video I see demonstrate feeding food with metroplex in a reef aquarium. Is metroplex safe for a reef aquarium?
Metroplex can be used in a reef aquarium.
My problem is I don't know if my blackmoore has a bacterial or fungal issue. I have a list of eye diseases but then again he was in with other fish and none are sick. How do you keep a blackmoore alive if he can't see his food.
What would i be able to use in a reef tank to deworm and fluke my fish please?
API General Cure or using Seachem Cupramine in a quarantine tank would be your best bet for deworming your fish.
My fish is laying on its side on the top pf the tank.. its got red bloches on its back..? dont know what this is..
I am sorry to hear about the fish. This could be a number of different problems so I would start with a bit of research in order to identify the problem. You can find a number of online resources with free information on how to identify common fish illness.
after cleaning my 55 mel.cichlid tank I noticed on one of the electric yellow staying in place on top of a fixture. ate very little belly looks fat. what is wrong with fish.
It is hard to say with only these details. Start by researching the most common ailments based on the symptoms. It could very well be nothing if the fish is eating. Feel free to contact us directly for further assistance.

I have a nano cube 24 gallons and my clown got internal parasites, I think... What should I do and what medication should I get
Does your fish have white stringy poop?
@@BulkReefSupply yes one of my clown fish, I dosed my nano tank 24 gallon with prazipro 6 days ago with only 5ml of it, but not sure if he is getting better... He is starting to eat more for sure. Should I dose my tank again???
I just purchased 2 ocellaris clowns and I've set up a 10 gallon qt tank as you described do I use the cupramine as a prophylactic since they aren't showing any symptoms
If no signs of illness are evident, I would not treat them. Just keep them in isolation and observe them for up to 90 days.
I have a 40G with mostly tetras, neons and 2 swordfish (6 2m old fry).I have 3 bleeding hearts. 1 looks good the other 2 have no colour or the red spot. No fungus or other problems visable. Have had for 2wks. Did salt bath, complete water change and treated 3 days ago with fungus/bacterial treatment. (Charcoal filter removed). Other fish seem fine except babies have red gills ( always have?)Everyone actice and eating. Will do 25% water change on day for and 1more treatment. Does not seem to b helping. HELP
Thanks for watching and I would start with close observation of your fish. With no evidence of illness and normal behavior your fish could very well be fine. Be sure to feed a healthy, varied diet to help with color and be mindful of water quality.
Best way to kill icy is raise the temp 82 and have your DT empty with no fish for 6 weeks.
I battled Ich and lost my angel that was living in my reef. I also lost my mandrin to it. I literally quarintine everything
Can I use KanaPlex and Focus in the reef tank if use it with food only and keep the carbon reactor running? please answer my question urgently
Hello. Focus can be used in conjunction with other medications according to the manufacturer. For exact medication mixes, I would recommend asking the manufacturer. Carbon removes many treatments, but since this is internal, it should be okay to run.
@@BulkReefSupply thank you so much!
Will marine depot live just sell corals or in the future will you guys also be selling fish
+Fred Beer We currently only have plans to stock corals.
i got 20 yr of exp.. cannot treat any fish.. only inch..
In my case kick ich was complete unsucsesfull did not help at all
Can u medicate saltwatet food every once in awhile just for safe measures or do have to wait for one to get sick
I suppose it depends on the "medication". My best advice would be to use Garlic and a quality Food Soak such as Selcon on a regular basis to keep your fish in tip top shape.

Hi there, can i put wool filter in my QT with cupramine? Or should i remove it? Because my blue tang still got ich after 2 weeks in QT. Thanks
Filter floss is perfectly safe for use with Cupramine so long as the filter material is not coated with some absorbent chemical or media.
Check out this article on the Lifecycle of Ich, it is pretty important to understand when treating at home. It is likely you experienced an infection from eggs that stayed alive on your substrate.

my cichlid fishs colour has been faded so much so can you help me in this regard how i can darked my fishs colour. pls do my help
Cichlid's color depends greatly on their diet. If you have not already I would recommend looking for a Cichlid blend of food or possibly switching to a new brand. Another thing to look at would be your water quality as poor parameters can stress the fish and reduce their colors.
Maybe you are right and I am 100% agreed with you. But my water tamprature is 30 to 32 degree and (Optimum 3 in 1 ).this food is i am using for fishes. But don't know what happen to my sweet fishs. Pls do my help.
Can I feed medicated food while using poly lab's medic? Also, I know it is off topic.. But the heniochos butterfly fish is one of my favorite fish, but I have a reef tank and have always been told that they are not reef safe. How does yours do? If I knew it was safe I would get one in a second!! That and a regal tang are two of my favorite fish, but I have been advised against getting them... What are your thoughts on it?
+Ashley L Hello and thanks so much for watching our videos!
I never recommend mixing medications; in reality it depends on the medicated food you are using.
Heniochus Banner Fish are beautiful aquarium fish and do very well. They get quite large and have a tendency to eat and pick at various corals; many hobbyists report that as they get older they get more and more destructive. Just be sure you have a tank that is large enough to house them and expect the natural behavior to show.
Regal Tangs are also great fish and this is a much more "reef-safe" option compared to the Banner Fish. A large tank of 90 gallons or larger is best with a primarily herbivorous diet.
Take care and happy reef keeping!
-Robert
+Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies thank you, I love watching them!
Thanks for the advice, I will watch that closely and not medicate both food and water.
I'm sorry, I meant a regal angelfish... Not a regal tang. My mistake. Do you think they can be kept safely in a reef tank?
+Ashley L Glad to help. The Regal Angels do have a taste for some corals but if you get it young, acclimate properly and provide hefty portions of the proper nutrition, they will do fine in a mixed reef. Just don't be surprised if you wake up to find the fish nipping at corals.
Take care and happy reef keeping!
-Robert
what medicine can I use that is safe on me mixed reef tank.
Ruby Reef is one of the most popular medications for reef tanks. I provided a link below for you to check it out on our website and better yet, they are on sale right now!

Hi I have no idea if anyone will see this. But at the moment many of my fish have white spot and tail rot and the medicine we got for them is a bright green. I did not think much of it till I poured it into the tank and it turned my entire tank water a bright green. I don't know if that's normal or what's meant to happen and I'm panicking a lot at the moment so can someone please help me I really don't want these fish to die!
I would also like to add that the instructions on the bottle just told us dosage rates and how frequently you should use it. It did not state any how to add it to the tank or how it wa smear to look when added or warning for if something went wrong
White spots are most likely ich or velvet. Velvet kills very quickly and the dots appear in greater numbers. Ich is less deadly and a healthy fish can usually fight it off on their own with good nutrition and water quality. As a general rule of thumb, if you can count the dots on the fish, it's usually ich. If not, it's more likely to be velvet.
Copper based medications are not reef safe, so if you're treating, it's best to move the fish to a dedicated QT system.

I haven't got a quarantine tank atm. What medications are safe to add to tank for all fish?
This just depends on what you are trying to treat. Give our customer service team a call or send an email for fast and friendly support.

Are these medication used for freshwater as well?
My new clowns have white stringy poop. What will treat internal parasites?
also. how can I get it out of my reef?
Check out the Prodibio medication below specifically designed to treat worms and internal parasites. Removal of medication is best done using activated carbon.

When using the kick Ich should we do water changes as well or wait till the treatment is done?
+Reyes calvillo Water change should be completed after the treatment is complete. Take a look at the manufacturer instructions and feel free to let us know if you have more questions.
Do you have to have your quarantine tank set up all the time
No, as long as you keep some biological media in your display tank alive, you can certainly set up a quarantine on an as needed basis. Use water from your display along with the biological media to set-up the isolation tank and you should be fine so long as it is not overstocked.
Is flukes medication ok for planted tanks? I have several Anubias in my tank
Which exact medication are you using?
-Robert @ MD
Hi I noticed a couple of my fish is starting to get it I was able to catch a couple of them and put them in a QT tank and started treatment.
My question is there is a few in my reef tank that I’m unable to catch what can I use to treat my reef tank and keep my corals safe?
I would continue to try and catch the fish, this will allow you to use a stronger medication in the QT. This also allows the Ich to sort of die out inside the DT, without a host (fish) the parasite cannot continue to survive but will take 3 months or longer for it to really go dormant and reduce the numbers in your DT.
The best option for medicating with corals and invertebrates is a healthy diet using a quality food soak such as Selcon and Garlic alongside Ruby Reef Rally.

what size Q tank do you recommend for Achilles tang
Adult Achilles tangs get very large and need plenty of swimming space so if you are quarantining them you would need something close to the 100 gallon range to be safe. Tangs especially need the room as if they are in too small of a tank they will stress and their immune system will be further compromised.
Hi. Thank you for the information you provide. I bought a Flame Angel fish 6 weeks ago. He was doing fine at first. I QT him and treated with para rid and then prazi. All of a sudden he stopped eating, he was swimming in circles at the bottom of the tank, a little jerky, I then tried erythomyicin (no luck) moved to amoxicillan, he seemed better, actually ate. Today he is laying on his side, looking like he's going to die. Can you help me?
Did he make it?

temp... for sure
Hello I know this video is old. Do you think cupramine would work for flukes? I don’t have any other meds for flukes aside from methylene blue as it’s very hard to get meds in Canada
I’ve read that it can be effective against flukes, however, I haven’t personally tried it.
I know this video was made quite a long time ago. But, I have a question. When using liquid treatment in your tank to cure fin/tail rot, will it effect the not sick fish. I know that you mentioned an emergency/quarantine tank, but at the moment mine is under maintenance and I have a sick fish. Any help?
Yes, medications in a display aquarium can have an effect on other fish that are not necessarily ill. Whether the effects are negative or positive just depends on the particular situation. The best practice is to use a quarantine or isolation aquarium to medicate your fish but if this is not possible, medicating directly in the display is a suitable option.
Hello! I have a marine aquarium with fish and corals. My tang are with ich. Is it safe to use Polyp Lab's Medic?
Yes it is safe
Does copper medication kills good bacteria?
Copper will kill the majority of the beneficial bacteria. Because of this of this you do want to use a quarantine tank if dosing medication, especially copper, as you will often have another means of filtration going aside from standard biological.
Is seachem paraguard reef safe?
No I would only recommend dosing into an isolation or hospital tank that does not contain coral or invertebrates.
there are two sick fish and I have five fish total can I still medicate my whole aquarium or is it harmful to my healthy fish
+antonio diaz It is always best to quarantine the infected fish but if this is not possible, it is safe to medicate the entire aquarium as long as you choose the correct medication.
My goldfish was sick..
Does mineral salt help ick
This would not be useful in marine aquariums but can have some beneficial effects in the freshwater aquariums.

is there any home remedy to treat fish :( i cant drive ang get these medi by my self n my fish is dying
+Samira Rana For Marine Ich, lowering salinity levels slowly is the only easy remedy I have had success with. Most hobbyist find it best to treat the fish with one of the many medications and employee a UV sterilizer to prevent future infections.
I know Weedborn has solutions to most diseases.
my fish don't eat what do I do
This can be caused from a number of reasons but I would start with offering high-quality frozen foods that are appropriate for the type of fish you have. Using a food soak with Garlic and Vitamins can also really help to make the food more palatable and nutritious for the fish. I provided a couple of links below for you to check out these items on our website.

If you want to cure, you can put sick fishes and some of your original sea water in another tank. then start to drop the medicine liquid to that tank. Do not catch up the fishes to the bottle or cup and start to cure them because fishes will be then lack of oxygen and will be died
hi,
i have noticed my white molly becoming transparent so i can see its inner parts and also its head becoming red(not red spots) & spread over its body. As of now it is eating normal. like this i have lost 3 molly fish. the stayed without eating and died. i can not find what type of diseases it is? advice
I am sorry to hear about your fish. Identifying the exact ailment can be difficult even for the most advanced aquarist. The good news is you can find copious amounts of free information online about fish disease. For freshwater; I generally recommend PimaFix and MelaFix treatments as they are fairly safe and can be used together to attack a variety of different ailments.
