    I'm sad to report that I have lost 2 today. Today would be the 3rd day of treatment of Quick Cure for the first 2 pulled.

    I didn't see too much improvement with these two, so I gave them a PP bath. There was no improvement after the PP bath either.

    I currently have 5 still in treatment.

    Since attaching, I have lost a total of 5 till this post. One was found dead early, was maybe 1/2 inch. There was also a belly swimmer that was culled.

    This recent issue has taken 3, and I can see a few more to follow if I can't figure out the cure.

    I put a few of them through a salt dip and then back in fresh water. Before going into the dip, one of them wasn't looking too good already, and eventually didn't make it. I lose one more tonight.

    Sorry to hear man...I don't do salt dips on really young fish. Its a pretty harsh treatment.

    They're sitting in a salt bath for the time being at a concentration of 11 tablespoons per 25 gallons. I'll start an antibacterial tonight when I return. Dropping the temp as well.
