Next time you prepare medicated food for your fish, add garlic guard from Seachem. It makes the food tasty and disguises the medicine taste. I put garlic guard in my fish food every day, along with some Vitachem. Garlic helps prevent deseases and parasites and the vitachem just adds the missing vitamins and nutrients the food miss during processing.
@@lukesgoldies 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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam 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.
2 things do you store it in the fridge if so dies it get mushy. also i heard metro once it hit’s water in the tank water or water with food that its only stable for 8 hours. So they say only do feed that will last 48 hours max. thoughts?
A little help needed. I've had a redcap added to my tank it been fine but past two days his just lazing at the bottom of the tank in the 1 corner now from what I know this could be swim bladder but he will come up to eat with no problems and now and they il see him taking a trip around the tank and then just lays again what can I do
How much of the General Cure packet would you use for the medicated feed? Can you put the General Cure in the water and give the mixed medicated feed with the salt in it at the same time? Do you ever use garlic in the medicated food?
I bought 2 common goldfish over a month ago and they have been cured of ich, but now have internal worms due to opaque white poop and clear white poop. What I did and am still doing is using metroplex, and focus by seachem, then dousing whatever I feed with garlic guard since it masks the bitter taste. I’ve been doing this for an entire week now and I’ll keep doing it for another week until symptoms clear up. Is there anything that I am doing wrong? Any recommendations for better treatment?
My goldfish has a stringy white poop but she's not lethargic, and she eat's a lot, I am worryIng about the white poop because idunno if it's a sign of an internal parasite, what should I do?
I'm suspecting my fish to have internal parasites bc i saw white stringy poop in their tank. They're not lethargic and looks pretty normal. It's just the poop that gave me suspicions. Thanks for this vid im only adding garlic juice to their food maybe ill try this one. :)))
Please help! Some of my goldfish have white stringy poop. Some say general cure is better than metroplex. But can't find it anywhere. Is this an effective way? Also, is it ok to use focus seachem to bind the medication to the food and garlic guard to make it tasty?
I have two gold fish they were going really well and healthy but they took a turn really badly. 6 months later. They seem like they are growing fungus I dont know what to do. Each day they getting sicker. Any tips
Hey Luke. I bought this Mizuho Feed brand food and they actually didn’t have a selection of pellet sizes on their site. What I received are way too tiny baby pellets and my fish are unable to eat them 😫 I’m very disappointed. Any advice? And do they really just have 1 size? Thanks a lot 😊
Prazi and metro will never ever affect your beneficual bacteria in your pond or aquarium unless it is methelyne blue of course since its a superficial disinfectant for fungul diseases only can be used to treat ich, velvet, and fin rot and salt is always gonna be good for bacteria and fishes respiratory osmosis r

Hi, is it ok to add garlic quard in fish food every day ? What is Vitachem, i cant fint it ? is it Seachem Vitality ? Pls advise
@@vyshnavijayakumar5944 Yes. You can do it every day
@@trenzu2 tq, What is Vitachem ?
Getting my 55 gallon on Sunday can’t wait!!
Awesome!!!
Why don’t you use Seachem Garlic Guard instead of Water to improve the taste for the fish.
Love your videos keep up the good work
Thank you!

New to your channel. I use the same meds but with gel food. Use garlic juice (seachem garlic guard if you want ready made) to increase palatability
2 things do you store it in the fridge if so dies it get mushy.
also i heard metro once it hit’s water in the tank water or water with food that its only stable for 8 hours. So they say only do feed that will last 48 hours max. thoughts?
Good job....very thorough
Thx!
Can I mix these medications into repashy gel food?
Instead of water use garlic guard it makes it taste better.
Does this affect the tank cycle or do you have to remove this from the tank when treatment is done
A little help needed.
I've had a redcap added to my tank it been fine but past two days his just lazing at the bottom of the tank in the 1 corner now from what I know this could be swim bladder but he will come up to eat with no problems and now and they il see him taking a trip around the tank and then just lays again what can I do

Adding the praziquantel powder to the water might help if the parasites are larger worms
@@lukesgoldies ok
I have 6 5-inch goldfish in a 55 how many sponge filters would clean the tank I feed frozen one time a day and peas
It’s a pens on how powerful the air pumps are and how much you feed, you have to constantly check your ammonia and nitrites to make sure those zero
so do you change the water so they do not eat the poop after this treatment?
Great video bro 🙏
Thx!
Helpful thank you
I appreciate this information thanks so much it will be very helpful, thanks again-
My goldfish has a stringy white poop but she's not lethargic, and she eat's a lot, I am worryIng about the white poop because idunno if it's a sign of an internal parasite, what should I do?
I would maybe raise the temperature, dose aquarium salt in the tank, and see how that affects them.
