Problem with my breeding pair

[brewmaster15]

Did you try the salt dip I had suggested? The fish probably has an excessive amount of opportunistic bacteria on its surface and slime coat. Salt dips would help strip all that away.

When pores getting blocked up bacteria can get established and create one firm of HITH we see in discus.(think of it as pimples in humans) Salt dips can treat this. If your fish get extensive HITH and uncharacteristic behavior like not eating, off colored feces or listlessness than you may be dealing with an internal parasite like hexamita or a systemic bacterial infection. These would need more aggressive treatments.

very conservative and safe method...

Hi Al, no I have not tried to salt dip yet, I am currently back to doing 100% WC and dosing metro.

Should I do the salt dip after the wound has closed up or should I do it right away? If I was to do the salt dip right away, do I have to continue doing the 100% WC or just continue my normal routine after the dip?
