Keep your temp up for a few days and continue the metro for 2 or 3 more days. What dosage did you use?


greeny feices -- green poop? white as well?

500mg per 10gallon,
no just green :-X

Still not eating any ideas???

just a thought, but maybe metro wasn't what you needed to treat them with... isn't that usually indicated by white stringy turds? After the last metro treatment I did, they all almost jumped out of the tank and ate me they were so ravenous

Hi Wildly. When my rose red was pooping green, it was an internal bacterial infection. Is your fish bloated at all? I treated with oxytetracycline and erythromycin (EM) for 10 days.

If your fish doesn't start eating, you might want to try a med for internal bacterial infection.
