Neoplex and quick cure

[wilddiscuss]

Can they be used together?

Neoplex has neomycin 50% potassium sulfate 50%

quick cure formalin and malachite green


Please let me know. The fish look horrible!

No the Formalin will work on the antibiotics and knock out ther punch.

Use the QC 1st...allow it to clean up any possible parasites and a bit of the bacterial....nothing will heal up if the possible bugs are still there...then clean the bacterial infection up with a good med

I've already dosed with the neoplex though.... what should I do?

[Graham]

Give it a chance at this point...if they don't look any better in the morning then use some activated carbon for a couple of hours, do a water change and then use the F&MG

OK thanks. The guy at the LFS said he'd look under a microscope tomorrow when I bring in one of the fish. I am so scared I'm going to loose another fish. He is in the corner almost black just sitting there. Not moving fins. Sitting on the bottom. I lost one this morning as well. The others are out and swimming about not looking 100% but better and swimming up and down. The 2 smaller 2 inch discus are itching still.

tell him to scrape as close to the gill as possible, then at the base of the pec, down the lateral line, in between the gills in the chin area and then the fish's butt.

The odds are it's Costia or maybe Oodinium, tell him to look close at 400x............

Also have a physical look at the gills by gentley lifting the gill plate...there should be no brown decaying looking areas

Good luck

Pretty bad huh. Been like that most of the day. But thanks I will tell him that. But do you think any of what I am doing is helping?

I just noticed the 2 of the 2 inch discus are niping at his slime coat that has a whitish tint to it. Not sure what that means.... or if it's going to make them more sick.

the picture is too small to make anything out in it.
