Thanks for the information 😊 I feed frozen 3 times a day and always soak in AF Fish V and AF Garlic Oil according to dosage. In addition I also feed seaweed every day to every other day, but it's Ocean Nutrition which is enhanced with garlic extract. My fish look super healthy (also attributed to Hybrid TTM) but sometimes I wonder I'm not overdosing vitamins and garlic because I know some people only use vitamins like once a week and garlic is believed to be possibly harmful to fish. Am I doing the right thing?

[@HumblefishReef]

You can feed vitamins, probiotics and Beta-glucan all you like. But I would use garlic sparingly, primarily only to entice new fish to eat.

Hello, my French angel has flukes. I freshwater dripped it and now is in QT with prazipro. The right eye only is now pretty cloudy/swollen. Can I go ahead and use epsom salt to reduce the swelling?

[@HumblefishReef]

Yes, you can safely mix Epsom salt with Prazipro. Were flukes in this eye when you did the FW dip? If so, dead flukes might still be inside the eye.

@@HumblefishReef That I'm unsure of as the fish was laying down with the right eye unvisable . I can visually see the damage to the outside of the eye today though. Looks like a little layer was taken off.

@@DesertRider760 I think you’re going to need antibiotic treatment for the eye. A methylene blue bath might help and erythromycin dosed in the QT.

@@HumblefishReef Thank you, is it possible to lead me to these products? I assume they're only for purchase online. Not something I can just go hunt down. Thank you

@@DesertRider760 Fritz and Kordon both sell Methylene Blue. See at bottom here: humble.fish/methylene-blue/ API sells erythromycin: apifishcare.com/product/e-m-erythromycin Sometimes you can find these products at a LFS/Petsmart, or Amazon should have them.
