      Im doing Kanamyician now too. Been 2 days and the two fish seem to come around in the morning but darken in the evening. I am trying to stack PP with the Kana as we speak. I will let you know in 4 hrs if they are still alive. My hope is that the PP will take out any externals, the Kana will heal any gill wounds and take care of the internals. I feel your pain. Ed

        Alxjss,
        the Kana should be giving for at least 7 days btw. WC every 24 and redose.

          Its usually 3-5 days before you start see real improvements with medications like Kanamycin...it has to have time to be absorbed and reach therapeutic levels...

              Ok, meds r done. I did a 75% w/c and filled the tank to about 30 gal. Let them set for a while. I fed them a little fbw's but didn't do much. Is there more i should do or wait. I want them back to the way they were.

                Eileen,

                Are the fish better? If they are still bloated you may need to try another Antibiotic like Metro or OXYtetracycline. How many days did you run the Kanamyacin?

                  I ran it 7 days. They r not bloated tho. They look real sad. Don't want to eat. I might have to try something more, like u said. I do have metro tho.
