Thank you for taking us through that entire routine. It helped build more confidence (and knowledge) for doing fish care.
John, Great job with these videos. I'm not a Technical guy so i respect simple and straight to the point. I've been learning a lot so when it comes time to buy I'm going to you first Keep up the fantastic work Thank you for sharing your knowledge it's appreciated
Thank you so much for this! I have watched Cory treat all of his incoming fish in quarantine which is what I am going to do. I went and purchased most of the meds I felt I would need, but deworming was iffy, so many different types. I appreciate your direction and information, thanks again!!
finally a video that explains the process, and just how it's done thanks John.
Thanks, of coarse there will be people that will complain about it being too long but it's the only way I know how to do it:-)
@@KGTropicals I too would like to thank you for posting this video. As the saying goes, the devil is in the details and you covered everything in such great detail. 👌🏼🙏🏼
KGTropicals hey I have a question what do you do if only one fish In Your aquarium that shows some white spots but you only have one tank?
@@Darkcloud1983 just treat the tank then it's okay.
How long do u have to leave the carbon out of the filter? Just while you feed them or the entire time they are being medicated?
I don't know if you are reading this @KGTropicals but ur simplistic explaining is whats got me stuck on to your channel. You are amazing at sharing knowledge. God bless u and the missus 🖤
Thanks John on being precise with the treatment.
Thanks, John for the great video. I am brand new to the hobby and watch your video's all the time.
Great video... maybe my favorite! I've been waiting for someone to do a real step by step series on diagnosing and medicating - two challenging things to do with the gazillion articles out there, not to mention package directions that confuse the hell out of me! Thank you!
Awesome John. Thank you so very much for making this video.
Very helpful video, thank you for taking the time to make it👍🏾
Thank you so much! I just pulled all my fish out of a pond outside that was too shallow for winter, and they are flashing and sitting on the bottom not swimming so I know they are all full of parasites. Frogs were in the pond.
This is sooo helpful!
Nice mam I av same ....in
Great video! Thanks for breaking down the steps. Do you run the bloodworms under tap water after thawing ?
Best video I ever see , talk to the point and very useful , thatswhy I subscribe this channel
This was great John! Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks Ben!
@@KGTropicals Well....its 6 years later...where is part 2?!?!??!
very helpful video ,not had much experience with medicating fish The analogy was clear and helped me determent that I definitely have a parasite issue with a few of mine
Thank you for this awesome info!!!!
Seen his video like four times and it's always a great video to watch
thank you i learn so much on this video
Thanks John for the superb demonstration watching you from Australia . Very helpful
Always have all of these on hand. They work wonders!
This was an awesome video. Very good stuff.
Thanks Steve!
Excellent video John. I think that knowing how to treat internal parasites is a must for anyone keeping African cichlids. And treating the food like you demonstrated is way more cost effective than trying to medicate a large tank. Looking forward to part 2 in a few weeks :)
Awesome video 👍💯❤️
I NEVER knew this. I can't thank you enough...
SUCH GOOD INFO
Nice job John. Demonstrated nice and clear. I wanted to know if the medicines you mentioned would kill bb if added straight to the main tank.
Thank you for your service!!
Great Video John, how long you can leave the Epsom salt in the main tank before water change?
At first i was skeptical to watch a 24 minute video... but it very well done and very detailed
That's so awesome thank you so much I've been frustrated with my fish trying to save them
dude your profile pic is epic 😂
I use pellets soaked in Metro and it's been a very effective treatment as long as you catch problems early and your fish are eating. I know Seachem is probably a sponsor but that Metroplex is so expensive compared to pure metro powder, if you have to actually treat a tank the cost can really add up fast. I've also had to treat colonies so rather than just treat the food I needed to take action swiftly and just treat the tank. Thank you for doing these videos, they may save someone some heartache.
How do you treat the tank
Awesome video great recommendations for the medications! (The rhyme though😂)
I'm glad I found your video. My new rams have worms. This is why I always quarantine my plants, fish and inverts!
@Drinking Water yes and I used Epsom salt and API general cure. Neither seemed to bother my corydoras. I made sure to follow the directions on the package, too.
Thank you so much for this video ! I hope I can save my fish ...
Great video.. Treating my fish now hope it works.. Thank you
Awesome video.. I have a question, how many times a week I feed them using metroplex, Focus, garlic a week and how long??
Ok. nice topic video John. I thought it was a live stream today but that's Aquarium Co-Op. .. I will see you there. lol.
Just lost a fish to a parasite today. Wish I would have found this vid sooner
Thanks for info your great at explaining
Hi, where is the part 2 of this video? can't find it. thanks
John have you done an update for this video yet how did the fish turn out
Good stuff John!
Wonderful video! Thank you
Hey love the videos , some of the most helpfull and Understandable info that I have come across yet on TH-cam . Your channel saves me so much time because after watching your channel I have the information that I was desperately looking for and I can finally take care of my tanks! Thank you ! Btw I don't want to be the guy that complains about your content because it's good. But your videos normally come thru choppy and the audio and video generally lag I think you already are aware of this, I just wanted to see if you have thought of getting a faster internet service to help this problem . Any ways thanks for the great content ! Hope the quality can get a little better soon I think it wold do you a lot of good too.
That only happens during the live streams. I tried to upgrade my internet but it turns out I've got the fastest speed they have available:-( Hopefully it'll get better soon:-)
Who's your internet provider I'm gonna give them a call and tell them that's just unacceptable , don't they know you've got fans ! Just kidding butt seriously .
Smart!!! Great video! TY!
Thank you so much i knew you could help.
make sure no scented Epsom salt
I thank your family on Bettas thank you for sharing this video 📸👍😊
I could not for the life of me find any definitive answers on google for what medicines to use. Thank you!
Did those fish in the sunken belly video recover with using the metro an focus An garlic guard. Food soak ? I couldn’t find the vid. Thx
Great topic. Going to yoga. Will see later. 🐟🐠
Super! Thank you!!!
Thanks John this video gives me the courage to treat my 120. Seems fish all have internal parasites they came from my 220.I am going to make your food also. If this works I'm going to treat all my tanks and get rid of this nasty Parisite forever. Great video learned a lot I did not know. Thanks! 🐟🐟🐟
Thanks! I'm glad I could help!
My dwarf gourami died, he had a parasite called Hexamita. My fish actually had a swollen stomach. My Aguaculturist specialises in ornamental fish diseases. He opened up my fish and saw the parasites under a microscope.. I am lucky enough to have a specialist in the field in my neighbourhood..
Can the other fish get this from an infected fish?
not so lucky enough cus it died
Good job on the video! Just one question, for how many days do you feed this?
Brads Tropics I was wondering the same thing
Great video/resource. What is the mixture when using General Cure to treat the pellets that I am feeding the fish?
Great video thanks a lot I am currently doing the metro garlic focus..I have question bout paraguard do I take carbon out when I put that in? And I have been treating food everytime I feed my fish is this correct way to do it? Thanks for videos and feedback
Thanks John. Very informative. How long will you feed the medicated food?
The manufacturer recommends to treat every 48 hours for up to 3 weeks or until the symptoms are no longer present:-)
Thanks this really is helpful since I noticed the other day my bettafish had white string of poop and I need to treat him soon
Right on Johnny 💥.
As a biologist and 25 years with African cichlids, I am very interested in the results of your experiments. Hexamita as we know is the major contributor towards Malawi bloat. Sometimes the fish bloat, sometimes they become emaciated. In my experience once in shows up, the parasites have already done irreversible damage to the internal organs of the fish. Recovery is infrequent with medications and there is generally lasting fish issues such as emaciation, and general weakness. This is why prevention has to be of upmost importance. For me this means Epsom salts, no krill or bloodworms in the diet, using a metro infused fish food, and mixing vegetable pellets into their diets.
Hi There thanks for the information which I agreed with you 100%, I have discus fish and please tell me how or which kind of medecation I can use from time to time to prevent them from internal and external parasites. Here we have a medecation from Sera company called Flagullol also we have a medecation called bactopur.
Plus Api general cure is available as well but medicated food there is not available, and when I mix metronidazole with beef heart my fish does not eating it?
Please advise
Thank you very much
great info
Hi, txs for the vid, do i need to remove the act carbon before using garlic? I have 1 goldfish and 10 cherry shrimps in a 10 g tank, txs
subscribed again :) very good content
Great video.
How many time should be use that medicines?
My Regards,
I had a great success with Metroplex and my shubunkins and koi. I created a dough from bread and egg and a bit of flour and garlic powder and a dose of the meds. I kneeded it until it became like pizza dough. Then you can make tiny balls and control which fish you throw it too! I believe that can be used for any fish type that is plant based diet. Good luck! (I found that trying to soak pre-formed pellets with that med is not good enough. Fish spit it out and then more of it leaches out into the tank, than gets eaten. I really like my formula)
I have an electric blue jack dempsey that’s been sick for about a week and a half. I started treating the hospital tank the day after I noticed it with prazipro, which was recommended by the local fish store. I wasn’t noticing any results with that so the other day I saw your video and started treating with metroplex, focus, and garlic guard. However he’s not eating. I plan on treating the tank with epsom salt when I get home today. I was wondering if you had any other tips or tricks I could try because I’m starting to worry. Thank you so much.
Excellent video!
What happened to part 2
How often can you use general cure and can you use ich and fungal meds along with it?
Just got a wild red eye puffer fish yesterday...and he has a live white worm hanging out of his butt :/ Otherwise he is eating well, curious, good color. I fed him white worms an hour before he pooped the live worm, and they look very similar. Perhaps it's an undigested worm? What medications (if it is an internal parasite) is safe for a puffer? Thanks in advance!
I use Paraguard, Methylene blue/Malachite and Clindamycin whenever i find a wild hybrid or A+ specimen.
ok thank you KGT.FOR YOU Help
I have several 10 gallon planted tanks. Can the products you talked about (including epson salt), be used without affecting my live plants?
Awesome video my friend thanks for sharing
Thanks Lou!
Good information to know just in case 😊👍💓
You saved my fish! Thank you!
What method did u use?
Amazing video!
Hey love your youtube channel :D. I bought api general cure powder but i dont know how long should I do the cycle that they recommend. Can someone help out ? tank you
Thank you for advice
Can you please show me part 2 ? I checked videos but I couldn't found it .
I just wanna follow the treatment .
Thank you
I'm glad you made this vidieo my fish have white pop
will the fish eat the garlic infused food if they're not eating anything?
Thanks
Hi Thanks for the information on this video.
Please advise me can I use api general cure in the water instead of in food because my discus fish refuse medicated food!
Also please also advise me what shall I do in future to prevent my fishes from parasites, please note I do not feed life food I only feed standker beef heart and granules
Thank you
Very informative but where is the follow up?
I use Melafix to treat isolated fish in a tank and to treat a tank with new fish (use for 3 days). I recently had to treat a couple African Cichilds. The Frontosa was not himself and had cloudy eyes a newer fish had body and fin damage. I removed them and treated a 20 gallon tank with Melafix and they are doing fine now. I've also soaked pellets in Epsom salt every so often to keep them regular.
Anyone know the answers to these questions
How long do you feed the medicated food for?
How often do you use the Epsom Salt
How much epsom salt per gallon?
Has anyone done this with anything other than frozen blood worms?
I did it with frozen brine shrimp and regular fish food flakes... then let them dry out. I also would like to know how long I am to use the food. ( so far ive used it 4 days )I've watched a few of these videos and don't see any follow up success videos.Let me know if you have any success?
hello, I know you are recommending paraguard... I saw in Seachem page is for Parasitic Fungal Bacterial and Viral... I have Cupramine on my hands, do you think this can work as well for internal parasites?
nice video.... gr8 information. ty
thank i had 2 fish like that before with the eye problem i didnt know what to do so just let them go so that medication cure your fish?
thx. for this video.
great video John
Thanks!
Yo john the video was great thanks for that"
I hate parasites in my fish. This explains much!
How often do I put the Epsom salt in? Just one time per water change?
john i enjoyed the video but is adding salt to the tank okay if there's Cories in the tank. also Para guard is a great product but it's my understanding its for external not internal problems. Prazi pro is also a good preventive. thanks again.
Paul Sam no
I'll be doing this very soon... seems the last couple fish I picked up weren't the healthiest
what is the length of time you treat the food and fed to the fish ? was it a one time treatment or did you continue medicate the food for 3-5 days etc ? I've bought the meds and ready to treat ...but not sure how many times / days I should medicate their food
I just read on the garlic guard it says to refrigerate and feed once or twice daily for 1-2 weeks!!
Also could I use powder garlic or minced garlic in with blood worms? Would that work as well?
Thank you , you explain thing very simple. One question , I want to treat my 55g tank with epson salt, most of the fish has a slight sunken belly but I have my tumbler with eggs in it , will it harm the eggs?, should I move them to my other tank?, TIA !!!
Do you think it is okay to mix repashy with your ingredients and freeze it first so I can store it for future use? When it is time to medicate the the fishes, I would soak in water for a few minutes to thaw it. Also at this time, can I continue to daily dose with paraguard while treating the fishes with medicated food?
