Mixing wilds and domestics?

Since you decided to treat with metro you will need to treat daily with a full dose for the volume of the tank after a huge daily water change. Please do not follow the recommendation of the LFS. Dosage wise it is 500mg per 10 gallons. You are looking at a 10 day treatment.

I would suggest doing as Al suggests on posting pictures.

added the first dose of metronidazole today,1 gram for 100litres....how long should i let it dwell? the LFS told me to not do waterchanges for now,just increase the dose every day for 3 days,then let it dwell for a week and then do a massive waterchange.

This would be a sure way to kill them all.
Metronidazole is sugar based med. and as such it contributes to further water fouling and bacterial buildup.So daily huge WCs are a must with metro.
Just redose the same dose everyday after a WC at night time for more than 12 consecutive days .Some say its photosensitive medicine , so you better dose it at night when lights are off .
