[@tomh8782]

As I am a complete newbie to fish keeping hobby so was just wondering how to treat for intestinal parasites etc. for small tropical freshwater fish which are around only 2cm- 4cm being the largest size in my 18.5-20 US Gallon fish tank or 70 litre which I have. As I had my firsh tank/ aquarium set up for over 1 year or around 1.5 years doing fishless cycling method and having growing out some live plants using Fritz Zyme 7 live nitrifying bacteria and for natural ammonia using Fritz zyme fishless fuel. According to my local pet store/ fish store they said my fish tank water was very well cycled and very good consistent water parameters except that my water PH being slightly high at 7.6 and also quite high water hardness but other than that completely good. I have quite a lot of live beginner aquarium plants covering nearly my whole aquarium and the fish I have are 5 small red cherry barbs, 2 bright and wonderful Yellow Honey Gourami and 2 beautiful black/ greyish colour Dwarf Suckermouth Catfish/ Otto which are very much like plecos (Latin name: Otocinclus. sp.) As they only tend to stick to the sides of my glass fish tank or on top of ornaments or my live plants. As for regarding health generally majority of the fish look very nice, vibrant colour and swimming around well however one of the red Cherry barb is looking quite sluggish or at least down at the bottom of the fish tank by himself and not eating much mostly unlike the other community fish or possibly something red sticking out of it's underside belly lile bloat possibly??? I have also one of catfish I noticed strangely just started yesterday white stringy poop coming out as it was swimming around which if correct according to my research/ knowledge is obvious sign of intestinal parasites etc. Other than that all my other fish such as my 2 Yellow Honey Gourami are completely fine and seem to be very healthy and doing very well, looking fine and eating well etc. Any useful information/ tips and advice would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. As obviously unlike in this wonderful KZbin video I obviously can't treat fish individually by taking them out of the fish tank and lying them flat on a towel etc. as my fish are way too small. Also unfortunately as I don't have enough money I only have 1 fish tank so no other separate fish tank to use as a hospital tank to treat the fish that maybe looking sick in my opinion individually. As recommended by Kaveman Aquatics KZbin channel I have been using since I bought my fish (not bought all at once obviously) using Seachem stability and Seachem Prime and Seachem Flouish Advance for my live plants. Thank you, Kind regards, Tom from UK.

Can I use Ich X and Paraguard together?? I believe my quarantine tank has ICH!

[@jamesdempsey2652]

Couldn't agree more! Kevin just curious.. with the bio load that you have how often do you clean your filters? Do you wait until you see a reduction in flow rate only?

[@dylanvr6]

Hey I'm just gunna say, if u had an hour long video explaining each virus with symptoms and prevention.. I'd watch it just like I've watched almost every other video on your channel!

[@SGScaper]

I would second this suggestions also. Please do the hour long video.

[@KaveManAquatics]

That would be more like a 3 hour video! 🤣 But definitely worth consideration 💪

[@crazyratlady3438]

Yes, please do bc I'm at a loss w my goldfish tank right now😭. All my fish keep getting sick repeatedly over the last month. When I googled symptoms it could be all sorts of things. Doing salt works great at first but the symptoms always come back. I began using melafix but I'm scared to continue bc they're getting worse and fast.

[@erronblack6763]

@@crazyratlady3438 have you tried methylene blue?

[@monchug]

Hey Kev, maybe you can make 1 video for each meds, focus and go all in depth on the med, what it does, how strong is the meds, what does it cure and how to use etc.. I think thats a good idea because i like the way you explain, very basic and straight to the point!

[@KaveManAquatics]

That may be a great idea. I will look into that for sure 💪

[@Tiffany-en7ks]

[@old409]

Kev, being as the Green/Blue Slime is a bacteria I'll put this here. I had both of my 55 gals. Cichlid tanks hit with this Slime. At first, I thought it was algae but soon learned what it really was. I dissolved 3 , 500 mg. Amoxicillin tablets in water and added it to my tank and let it sit, covered and in darkness,for 2 days. The fish and everything stayed in the tank. At the end of the first two days, I did a massive water change, approx. 75 to 80 % and then added 1500 mg. of Amoxicillin again., covered the tank,and waited two more days, and then another massive water change. At this point in time the Slime started to disappear like magic. there wasn't much Slime left on anything in my tank and my tank appeared as clean as ever. Meanwhile, my fish were doing fine. After the last water change when my tank was clear I did another massive water change and added carbon to my filter to get the meds out of my tank so I could get my Nitrogen Cycle restarted.Twice now this has worked for me and it takes a lot of manual work of removing the Slime away because it seems to melt away and disappear. It's been 4 months since my first tank was cleared this way and there are no signs of Slime returning anywhere in it.

[@DEBORAHDICKISON-uu1wh]

I've just joined up cuz I love your videos! I'm a new fish person, I took some discus in for a friend who was moving, and you have helped so much with this scissor sharp learning curve. My fishies have developed a new thing though, and it's scaring me. It started with one, he leans sideways and starts shaking his head back and forth really fast, as seen in horror movies, just not as fast. He still eats when I feed them, though sometimes doesn't come up to get it from my hand like the rest do. It lasts a few seconds, and happens anywhere from every few seconds to a few times an hour. Sometimes after a particularly bad episode he just lays at the bottom, leaning heavily on the side of the tank. I've watched all of your sick fish videos, and haven't been able to find anything like this. Now two more have started this behavior, what the heck is going on???? Their poop looks good, water parameters in check, regular water changes, no spots or flashing but they do like pretty miserable :(

[@KaveManAquatics]

Hey Debora...for some reason your comment was in the spam section...sorry I missed it. So as a beginner I recommend never saying "water Parameters n check" or any other variation of that. There are many parameters to consider and in order for anyone to help, either here or in forums, or even in my facebook group, we need to know those exact parameters. Like Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH, temperature, Hardness, phosphates, silicates...all of those matter. 😊

[@SYHOZHO]

That puffer has my dying laughing dude thanks for the video!!! I’m new to the aquarium scene. I have a year old angelfish as well as three upside down catfish I did have a bass of shark and a rare clown Paco. Sadly, I ended up getting a beta and I have separation screens in my tank, which is 150 gallon tank. I have it divided into 50 gallons. Then another 50 and 50. So each fish has 50 gallons, the beta had ick and gave all my fish shit so I’m now battling that using the super ick cure as well as slime coat and stress coat protection. As well as aquarium salt and a little bit of garlic. I also raise the temperature to 84° gradually. I’ll probably come edit and update this post in a little bit. Editing-->

Hi Kev I recently joined your page because I always find your information so helpful today. I need your help worse than ever. I have a goldfish who’s upside down and I’m trying desperately to save her. She was near dead but now she’s back to life but she can’t seem to get herself right side up to swim. My goldfish tank got sick prior to this and I lost several fish. She was one of the lone survivors her and another one but recently this tank begin to seem sick again right now I have her in a hospital tank with her boyfriend, she cannot turn right side up to save her life. Please help I don’t wanna lose this girl.

[@KaveManAquatics]

That sounds like swim bladder disease and unfortunately its usually a death sentence. Sorry I'm only getting to this comment 2 days later but it may be too late already. If i'm wrong the best medicine for this is super clean and pristine water conditions and very very low stress environment, meaning she should be alone. But like I said...they usually dont recover from this. Good luck!

Hey man, just want to start off by saying I have learned almost everything I know from you. I appreciate your content and it really helps. I woke up this morning to one of my peacocks looking very out of it and his fins looked rough. I came home from work and he had an eye missing and was severely sick. I just euthanized him and my water parameters are pretty close to perfect. I don't know what could have caused this and what I should be looking out for to make sure my other 22 fish stay healthy as they are. Thanks and I appreciate anything you have to say

[@KaveManAquatics]

Sorry to hear that bro! Sometimes it can be as simple as a physical injury. Could have scraped his eye on a piece of decor, or gotten into a fight while you weren't looking. If there's no other signs of disease in the tank I wouldn't worry about it too much right now. Just keep a close eye on everyone for a while.

Not in every water change...but maybe 1 per month as a preventative would work well 😊 Check this out...tell me what you think of this - kzbin.info/door/iRqagL1_6oKgRxOPs3GfqQ

Thank you for the great video Kev. Would you consider doing a pleco/scaleless fish only medication video as i understand that not all medications are suitable for them? Thank u😊

[@KaveManAquatics]

Yes you are right. You have to be careful with all meds when it comes to scaleless fish. Dont use any of the strong stuff, just the mild stuff, like ParaGuard, general cure and metroplex. I'll try to get a video like this on my list 😊

[@luksitkrubawang4660]

@@KaveManAquatics awesome.... thank you once again Kev 💯

[@MrGaberacer]

This is a great video Kev! Very useful as I have had some losses lately . In your opinion, what type of infection can a firefish have if he has many black inky small spots on him . He seems fine with them for a long time and others don’t got them but I would really address the issue but don’t know with what.

[@KaveManAquatics]

Thats tough, I've never seen anything like that so unfortunately, I cant help. Sorry bro

[@RyOsuKeSG]

For quarantine fish, you had mentioned using the combination of paraguard & metroplex. Do you dose metroplex to the aquarium or by feeding along with focus ?

[@KaveManAquatics]

Feeding Metroplex with focus is the BEST way to get them the meds. But during quarantine, when just automedicating as a precaution, Dosing Metro and Paraguard directly into the tank water will still get the job done. 😁💪

Very nice video, hey kev help me out.. what if my fish looks sick from high nitrates what can be done I been doing large water changes the past couple days to lower just curious if there is anything I can do … thanks so much

Just got 30 new peacock/haps. About 1.5”. Some of them are flashing on the substrate. They eat fine and are active. I did notice one or two have white stringy poop. I dosed the tank with fenbendezole. I also gave them metroplex/focus/garlic guard food a couple times. But they still are flashing and just saw the white stringy poop on one of them. What to do?

[@JG-fy9yw]

Hey Kev, How long ( days )I have to treat all my tank with metroplex and focus with garlic?, ( I have 17 mbuna , but couple have internal parasites I presume that the all fish's can be exposed to the parasites as well. Thanks

[@KaveManAquatics]

Yes, you're right. Treat for 10- 14 days.

[@JG-fy9yw]

@@KaveManAquatics Thank you and Let's go

[@t1dirty]

Another great and informative video 📹 👍

[@wav3127]

Do we dose the QC couple for the whole quarantine period?

[@KaveManAquatics]

I would dose it for the entire first week. If no signs of disease then continue the quarantine without it. EXCELLENT QUESTION!

[@kosys5338]

I have been fish keeping for a long time and I can tell you that I don't have any aquarium medications. I have never needed them, I have never had an outbreak in any of my tanks. Mind you I do go to great lengths to make sure I never need them. I find it useless to chase symptoms when you should be dealing with causes, I concentrate on prevention and that has kept me from having to treat. I will let you in on a secret, stress, control stress in your tanks at all cost. Control stress from bad environmental conditions, stress from other fish. controlling stress is the key my friends. Cheers!

[@KaveManAquatics]

100% agree, prevention is key!! Unfortunately, for many, their fish still get sick, and when they do knowing what to use and what not to use is vital information. Thats why I made this video.

[@kosys5338]

@@KaveManAquatics Oh I totally agree with you and think this is important information that new fish keepers absolutely need to know. Good aquarium medications are hard to come by here in Canada which forced me to concentrate on prevention. It's concentrating on prevention that made me realize that prevention is the key. I thought your video was a good one with valid and credible information. I have no problem with your content, it is a topic that needs to be discussed and addressed. I was just commenting on my experience and not the nature of your video. Sorry if I made it sound like this is not an important topic. Oh and by the way, you have great looking tanks with beautiful fish. Your doing it right my friend.

[@jayhodson1660]

Great vid! Heavy on the info & entertainment! Very hard to diagnose some illnesses...I've had problems in my 75G Gourami tank that I can't find anywhere on the internet, I'd appreciate your input if there's a way I could show ya pics of these mysterious (and eventually fatal) illnesses. Cheers

[@KaveManAquatics]

I agree, its very hard to diagnose sometimes. I am no expert in that field, so I recommend using one of the broad-based meds. Start with lighter ones, if they dont work, then try the stronger stuff.

[@jayhodson1660]

@@KaveManAquatics thx! I've used tetra all-in-one treatment In a hospital tank and I'm currently treating the big tank with melafix. All of the fish with the mystery illness passed away, I'm just finishing up with the melafix hoping to kill whatever it is in the tank. A lot of the medications and treatments that you shown are hard to get up here in Canada.

[@bonniegoodwin5653]

Hey! I’m a little confused. In one video you said don’t treat prophylactically fish that you get from an outside source. Am I to understand that now you feel like it’s a good idea? I love your videos and after going through a terrible case of ick and loosing half my fish, I’m thinking that treating new fish right from the beginning might be a good idea. I appreciate your opinion and the way you relay the info. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your info!

[@robertperagine419]

Great information bro keep up the great videos 👍

[@mrchard40]

Hey Kev, have you heard of MINNFINN? It looks really good! It covers it all, and you only have to treat for an hour or so.

[@KaveManAquatics]

Nope...got a link?

[@raverevsreps6913]

Can i directly put paraguard at my reef tank? I have no quarantine tank.
