Another fishy question about treatment?
Me again
I have been and got a swimbladder treatment, an ammonia level check kit and ammonia removal liquid stuff.
I am wondering though whether I can put her back in the main tank for treatment? There is another fish in there who is healthy, will the treatment damage his health?
I am thinking of doing this because she is currently in a large plastic bowl because I don't have a spare tank - and the treatment warns that it can decrease the ability of the water to carry oxygen so ensure water is properly aerated, which obviously its not if is just a bowl...
I am going to check the ammonia in the main tank anyway, if its ok can I put her back in to start treatment??
Ok thanks, that does make sense. The treatment says it gets rid of the bacteria causing the swimbladder infection... Hmmm.
Thanks for info, will do some research into what it all means in terms of how to loo afetr my poorly fish better.
Move the fish back to the main tank as that is probably the source of the problem anyway. If you got Interpet #13 meds, that's actually anti-internal bacteria medication.
Check ammonia levels, anything other than 0 is toxic. Water changes are the best way to get rid of this, not more chemicals.
To be honest i'm not sure what swimbladder medication does. Swimbladder disorders are either caused be a genetic problem (which won't be fixed by anything), constipation (fixed by cooked deshelled pea, starve days and a varied diet),bacterial infection caused by constipation (anti-internal bacteria meds) or internal parasite (anti-internal parasite meds). Its usually constipation though.
More frequent water changes and a varied diet usually do the trick, not more chemicals.
