I was afraid nobody would have an answer. I've looked all over and found nothing. Anyhow, fish is still in his/her 5 gallon bucket. Over a week of General Cure, 6 days of Metro before that and its still not eating. I think the poop is still white but since its not eating its not pooping.
Questionnaire is below, but my question is?? Metro didn't work, API General Cure didn't work. Today i'm receiving PraziPro and a order of Levamisole. What would you go with ??

5 gallon pale. He/she has been in there almost 3 weeks. Its now its new home. I have 2 pales and switch the fish out everyday with a fresh treatment of General Cure.

100% daily
6. How long has tank been running? Is it bare bottom? If you have substrate, what type and how deep is it?

The fish was in my 75 gallon but as soon at the poop started I treated that entire tank with Metro twice a day for 6 days. When that didn’t solve his issue he was moved to a bucket.
All fish in the 75 are doing great. In fact 2 paired up and laid eggs a couple of times

No, no PH swings either
