In this video you’ll learn about the best medication for diseases and parasites!
Hi Ty, I love your videos so informative & nicely explained. The other thing that really impressed me was that you take the time to answer all the questions whereas most don't & it's so frustrating. After all we watch the videos to learn. so thank you & you will be my go -to from now on.
Thanks for your kind words! I always try to get to the questions when there is something wrong!
Thanks man great short very educational, straightforward video. Thank you.
When the packaging says to remove carbon I assume it means to remove the filter cartridge,so that means the filter will not be working for the treatment time,I have a powerful air stone,will there be problems with the water or anything else during the treatment?Thank you in advance.
Hi Ty, we have a very sick betta (hole in the head, most likely internal parasites, etc) and would like to try this, but his water parameters aren't quite stable yet. Should we wait a couple weeks first? Also, would we be able to do a water change after the first day and then redose for both days on the second?
Thanks for this video, I'll be checking out your others!
Hi Ty, with the QT do you add fish first or add the general cure first and let it cycle.
Chu Chen cycle before anything
hey ty! love ur vids! just to make sure, this treats flukes effectively right?
Andrew yes it does!
Hey Ty love your videos! I have subscribed to your Chanel!
I have a question I have a stablished 35 guppy community tank the ages range from fry to adults, it seems every month I loose a fish to a paristite, they look like they are wasting away, I lost one a few weeks ago so I fed medicated food for a week and I now see the beginning signs on one of my beautiful fancy tales male guppy, should I just use general cure on the whole tank?
Heather Lovejoy sorry to hear about you fish having parasites, I would dose the whole tank for sure after you get that tank under control before you add fish to it I would use like a ten gallon quarantine tank for you to monitor new fish. Use the general cure and I would also say use epsom salt 1 tablespoon for every ten gallons. You could also use metroplex from Seachem which is a little stronger I believe. If medicating the tank fails to get it under control consider medicating the food instead. Do this my soaking some bloodworms in the medication and then dump the food in the tank. Sorry for the long winded response but I just really want to help. 😂
Aquariums With Ty thanks so much for the response! Should I just dose 1 time with the Epsom salt? And I paid money and bought medicated flake food, I didn't think about putting it on Bloodworms, that would have saved me some money, is there a certain amount that I would put on the blood worms?
Heather Lovejoy does the recommendation on the package and the let it soak then i dump it all into the aquarium
Oh and only does the salt once
How long do the filters need to be turned off when dosing with General cure?
Hey ty! It seems to really work! I stubbed my toe the other day and poured a dash of this on it and it’s lookin muuuuch better. Keep it up!
Hey I'm not sure if this video still receives comments but I just put some in my fish tank last night and it say take out the filter cartridge. Do I keep my filter off for now or would I turn it back on
Is activated carbon required after dosing?
Thanks Ty.. Will this hurt the beneficial bacteria in the filter? Sorry If I missed anything
No it will not
This video helped so much! Thanks ❤️
Straight to the point I like that
Is it normal that the water becomes cloudy after using it? I have a sponge filter, no carbon, so I’m just leaving it running with the sponge
No not normal sorry for the late reply it’s probably a bacteria bloom and already resolved itself haha am I right?
Hello Ty,
Can you use API General Cure as a preventative medicine in my 29 gallon aquarium even if my fish are ok?
Thanks
I treat all my fish when I get them so ya I recommend it.
My Bolivian Ram has white stringy poop will this product API General Cure help
Hey Ty. Love your videos. Can I treat my entire 60 gallon tank with all my fishes in it?
Hey man nice video I just medicated my fish food with it. I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of lights you are using on that 60g? they look clean as hell! Also, where'd you get a rimless tank?
Hygger led Lights I have a review on them on my channel as well recently. The tank is r & j enterprises fusion x 60 gallon
I just did a water change,can I add the treatment a day after the water change?Thank you in advance.
Hello Ty, can I mix general cure and focus into food to treat goldfish possibly with internal parasites? How long should I go on with the treatment?
Yes you can and I would do 2 weeks
Can this help with dropsy ?
Hey Ty can this be used for shrimp?
bambikiller338 totally it’s invertebrate safe for sure! I recommend quarantining shrimp the same way as fish!
Hey TY, I have Tiger Oscar and it is suffering from Internal Parasite issue and determined it from its White Long Feces discharge.
I have applied the API General Cure 4 packs in my 45 Gallon tank on 7/18 and see no improvement as of now.Its still lazy and not eating that much.
Do i need to add Epsom Salt along with API General cure...?
Please suggest other options
ayan chatterjee are you dosing general cure exactly how the package says? Also I would do a 50 percent water change befor treating the tank. You could also try metroplex from Seachem. If using these does not work buy a food that your fish LOVES to eat and medicate the food. And yes put the salt in first. Hope this helps
What size water change?
Ty for your video ... very informative
We are unable to obtain this medication in the UK 🇬🇧 l don't know why
I got some off eBay recently. Not cheap at 20 quid and took 3 weeks to arrive but it can be bought.
Hi should I have to mix api with the fish food or just to mix it in the tank water? Which is best sir?
Thank you..
Just with the tank water unless you tank is massive. Then the meds get expensive
Tyler, You mentioned you use Fertilizer with API General Cure. Are you saying there will be no contraindications or bad chemical reactions with using them Fertilizers with API General Cure together? Please Confirm.
From what I have used no your fish should be fine. But I havnt tried everything
@@Aquariumswithty By sayin u havent tried everything, you mean you dont dose the full line of macros and micros? whats your fertilizer dosing schedule like when ur treating with API General Cure?
Harris Tiu I havnt mixed it with every fertilize on the market. However general cure is known for being safe to use in planted tanks. If you are worried about hurting your fish or plants I would play it safe and put them in a separate quarantine tank.
That being said I think you will be fine.
@@Aquariumswithty Thanks Ty
Jus subbed..great vid..
So what happen if i dont do a water change at 48hrs?
You want to do a waterchanges to take out any parasites that may leave the fish.
@@Aquariumswithty gotcha thanks
Get video‼️👌🏽 very informative and direct‼️💪🏼 and I’m taking your advise on the 50% cause why not‼️ keep up the great content👌🏽‼️🔥💣
I am using Epson Salt and boiled Garlic Works great red spots internal Parasites!
Nice video. My large Severum has hole in the head and am using General Cure to fix it. Hope it works
I hope it works too I’m sorry to hear that
After 2 doses and 4 days of treatment, can I leave the medication in longer, by not replacing carbon?
Yes
does this help fin rot and pop eye?
What if I don't have carbon or ever use it in my external filter. Is it absolutely necessary to do this afterwards?
I would still do a good gravel vacuum because when u medicate fish the parasites can fall off or be pooped out and you don’t want them to just reinfect your fish
But as far as removal of the medicine itself no it’s not necessary
I’m using API fin in body cure in my 1.5 gal. Should I use the full dose or less?
Less
Hi Ty, I have 2 questions.
1. How many times do you repeat this dosage for sick fish and new fish?
2. Does this medication treat ich as well?
Edvin Lopez 2-3 weeks and I use ich-x for ich
I have a peacock that is not eating but I don’t have a hospital tank how would I use general cure and is it a one time treatment
I would medicate the food and no it is not a one time thing. I would feed medicated food once a day for 3ish weeks. Soak it in some tank water for 30 min you can get Seachem focus to help it bind to the food better. Also getting Seachem garlic will help with the taste. I hope this helps!
Sir can I use sponge filter during medication of API general cure in my aquarium thanks in advance God bless
Yes
thanks for your Reply
Should we feed the fish while medicating with general cure? Pls reply
Shadow Runner yes
Ty , actually I am feeding fish while medicating needed clarification
Shadow Runner glad I could help!
I’m going to try this today to treat the whole tank .. since one of my fish are sick , 🙏🏻 hopefully this one works.. thank you sir
It works very well I’ve had lots of success with it
I’m curious to how general cure worked for your aquarium?
After I put it in it looks like it’s gone in about 10 minutes. Is it still working?
Yes
@@Aquariumswithty thank you. I’m about 44 hours into the treatment and my one cory that seems like it had flukes is looking much more active and looks much more healthy. He looked like he was wasting away and was flicking on the sand. Poor guy.
Is it advisable to feed your fishes while undergoing medication??
Renzel De Ramos if they will eat it I would but if they are new and stress out I would wait a day or two. Also it is a common practice that people will really big tanks medicate the food so they don’t have to dose the whole aquarium.
Aquariums With Ty thanks you sir
Aquariums With Ty I just added general cure on my 6.5 gallon guppy tank, are they supposed to eat the medication? All the white stuff is on the gravel now.
do you have to use carbon? what if you dont have carbon?
No u don’t have to just do a water change or two
Hi did it able to get rid of anchor worm too?
I’m not 100 percent on that.
Sir, during the treatment of discus should we change the water after 1st dose or we give 2nd dose in the same water after 48 hrs ?
Water change after 48 hours then do the second dose
@@Aquariumswithty sir how much water should we drain sir ?
Rishi Roy I do 30-50 percent
Thanks sir for your valuable advise....sir I have another question. is ghm or bhm good for fishes or we should keep them in dry food diet?
Bro which medicine is there, for SWIM BLADDER, please please please answer, TIA
Goldfish can gulp air and burp air out of the swim bladder a lot of time people will feed pee too help with potential blockage
Shelled peas will help with this
Api General cure is my top #1 go to medicathion
Just let you know I found your channel randomly on TH-cam pretty good just subbed thanks
Thanks for the sub!
I’m doing the API. Once I take out the carbon filter, I leave it out the whole time then add a new one after 48 hours?
Yes. Re-adding the new carbon after 48 hours will filter out the nedication
Jimmy Castaneda yes leave the carbon out during the entire treatment
Aquariums With Ty how many times should I do this treatment? Should I do a back to back?
Do you completely remove the filter cartridge?...or just the carbon activated? according to the instruction... confusing
The carbon is all that needs to be removed you can keep the floss pad in
Do it work for bumps on head
I’m not sure what you are referring to. I would need a better description
It’s not dangerous for the healthiest fish in the aquarium
Hey buddy, my discus fish is discharging white cloudy poop. Will this also be cured with this api general cure?? Please do reply.. Thanks a lot.
Yes, it will another good one for that too is Seachem metroplex. Both are great
Hey, didn't expect such a quick reply man. Thanks for the spontaneous reply. Will surely try api general cure.. God bless u bro.
If I see a health problem comment I always try to reply right away. Otherwise I reply to comments about once a day haha
Appreciate that bro.
Hi ? Do I have to use Carbon after I use general cure in my tank ...
If u put carbon in it will remove the general cure.
@@Aquariumswithty so after my 48hour I could add my fish because I treated my hold tank
Brian Sookdeo it sounds your quarantining fish in a separate tank because you already have a main tank. If this is the case I would keep them separated for 4-6 weeks. I would dose general cure 1 time and do not water change for the next week. If u believe your fish is actually sick then I would dose like recommended on the package.
@@Aquariumswithty no I dont have any fish but I am.playing it safe I now finish my cycling my tank ! So before I put any fish I was told to use api General cure ..
Brian Sookdeo after a week you could put them in a cycled empty tank then. If you want to jumpstart your aquarium cycle try Seachem stability I have a review video on it if you want to watch
Super awesome vid!
Is this safe to use with catfish and plecos?
Yes
Can you mix general cure and triple sulfa?
I honestly am not sure sorry
Is it okay to feed the fish during the treatment period? Thanks.
Yes
Will it work even if they dont eat the medicine?
If u dose the proper amount in the water column yes
Hi, Thanks for all the information you share. I have a sick Koi in quarantine, per your advice giving her mixed food with General Cure , question is should I change 25% of the water before giving the food or after? Also should say I am retired and fish keeping is a new hobby for me. Have a 1200 Gallon pond with 27 Koi and Gold fish ranging from 5" to 12" long. Subscribe an listen to your channel. Thanks, I remain
You want to change water after because the fish will poop out parasites and you want to remove them before they get back into the fish
@@Aquariumswithty Thanks you...
Ty do this work in flowerhorn i have for 3 years now
Yes
I have a question does it work on ick???
No I use ich-x for that
So, you're telling us to put carbon into our filters after the waterchange, what if you never use carbon like you?
Carbon is to remove the meds when you are done medicating. If you don’t use carbon just do water changes
@@Aquariumswithty Alright, thanks! Too bad we don't have any API products over here so i'll have to pay the jackpot for shipping.
I don't know any alternatives either
Seachem metroplex is a good alternative actually if you have that available
Does hith start off tiny ?
Not sure what you are asking. If you mean internal parasites then yes.
Hole in the head lol
Can you put chemi pure in the QT.?
You want to take chemi pure out while using general cure Because it’ll remove it
Will this treat planaria or diethrus
I’m not sure exactly I would have to do some research to know that answer
International tape worms our the worst to get rid of . You can put it in their food they can dijest it and get rid of thire tape worm
You should do a video on external filters/slumps I think they are called for people new to the hobbie
Glenn H ya! I plan to someday actually they are called “sumps” and the aquarium behind me has a built in sump that works exactly like one you would put below you’re aquarium. Maybe I’ll start with that.
Even if you can comment on your views and maybe the positives and negatives (cost, if it is necessary) for beginners. Thanks.
Glenn H definitely! I do have a friend that has a really nice one though I have been talking to him to set things up! But ya for sure I want to talk about all kinds of filtration to be honest. Sump will come up for sure!
There are no local breeders in Maryland
Dang I’m sorry meds are gonna be you’re best friend for fish then haha
Will this kill bristle worms in my tank?
Ashley Ross I don’t think so.
@@Aquariumswithty cool I plan on treating the display tank as I lost a clownfish to internal parasites last week and now my other clownfish is showing same symptoms, but I don't want to kill my bristle worms as they are a great cuc
I don’t think it would kill them it’s invertebrate safe. But you could medicate your food (maybe some floating pellets) or whataever to avoid any chance of your bristle worms getting it. Thanks for watching and I hope I have been some help
Will it kill nerite snail?
Tasha Lucas no should be fine
I used it for my betta. It didn't work.
What were u treating?
@@Aquariumswithty hole in the head. I have since moved her to a smaller tank and treated again. Maybe I didn't dose right so I'm going to try again.
why would you do a 50% water change when you don't have high nitrates OR something going on within the tank that requires such a drastic change ... Giving someone that advice could do more harm to a tank then good . A 25% is more then adequate . ALWAYS TEST YOUR WATER FIRST
Lol
People don’t don’t typically dose meds when nothing is wrong hence the water change
@@Aquariumswithty That is not what you said ... You said to do a 25% water change and then put carbon back in .... Then you went on to say " I say do a 50% water chance because why not ... you can have Crystal clear water like me " So which is it ? A 25 % water change or 50% ... telling people to do a 50 % water change is just plain BAD advice !
kenhappen2u if I came off that I do 50 percent water changes for no reason that was not my intention. I do 50 percent to keep water parameters as stable as possible. I typically do them once a week. When medicating parasites can either fall off or be passed through poop I do the water changes to ensure any parasites live or dead get water changed out.
THANK YOU
You’re welcome!
Pet or not I have to choose what I can afford. Buy the fish cheap and pay a fortune to keep it alive. Fish breeders sell diseased fish and they pass them down to the buyers.
It helps to buy from local breeders they usually have much healthier fish
Dude you should save some money by mixing it in the food instead of treating the entire tank water volume.
I’d rather spend the money haha
I have 180 gallon
RytchieTv I should also say that by the time u buy the meds like general , focus, garlic, you could have got like a ten gallon tank and just some general cure. It’s my preference to do it with a small tank so I know that the fish is getting the medicine and I don’t have to wonder if the meds binded to the food.
Curing fish cost more than the fish why bother
Cuz it’s your pet...
I don't use AC either And don't plan on using it
So basically put this stuff whenever you get a new fish and put it in quarantine?
Sadistic Overlord yup!
