I hope you NEVER delete this video. I know that this is a treatment for guppies, but I decided to do this treatment for a betta fish that I have, and it seems to be working. As of 4-24-24 3rd day of treatment, it is working. On the 2nd day, I thought the betta was dead, but he was kicking and pushing through. I hope and believe this will work! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this info! My guppy got cloudy pop eyes and was swimming wonky, I quarantine it and added some aquarium salt+antifungal med. The pop eyes got less swollen and the cloudiness was cleared on the next day. After 4 days of quarantine and fasting (plus water change daily), it has fully recovered and returned to it's original tank.
Glad I saw this video, my guppies have always had problems with dropsy, studied a little bit more about it and like I suspected fungal and bacterial infections as well as stress during transfer can then kill the fish if it is not treated. I understand now also that I have to be more diligent with water cleanliness. The tank parameters have been good, but not good enough so I will perform smaller water changes more often and try to clean out pockets of the substrate where detritus collects more often. I noticed that was one neglected area last time when I did my regular weekly water change. I have increased the bio load of my large aquarium tremendously so I will be even more tedious with water cleanliness. And it is easy to do and does not take much time to just remove some detritus and replace some water with RO water. It is such a menial task that does not take long. I understand that if I don't do that in a tank with a higher bio load it will run into problems. I want to do the best for my pets, aquariums bring so much peaceful enjoyment. When it comes to the small hospital tank with a male and female guppy I thought would not make it, they are better, starting to eat and are now much more active. They are not out of the woods yet, the female guppy is still thin from not eating for 5 days, but one person online suggested they actually do not feed the fish with dropsy for 5 days and then start feeding them slowly again so that was cool, the male guppy still is a little bloated in the belly area, but not really bad. Continuing with small water changes and salt treatment, pretty simple really. The ultimate reward would be if the guppy pair could get fry, because the colors of a yellow leopard male and yellow, orange colored female could produce gorgeous baby fish, keeping my fingers crossed.
Im gonna try to do this method because i noticed one of the male guppy fin somhow small amd not blue. Thankfully i found your video and wanted to give a shot ill be saving your video if it works. Im more into betta experience so its my first time healing a guppy fish
Lost 5 female guppies because of fin rot, have tried to cure with some other method but not worked. Thank you for sharing this video. I will try the same.
@@albertsguppyadventure4293 Without antibiotic therapy, the mortality rate is 100%. The other unfortunate thing is it is technically a "super bug" now. Based on scientific studies done on columnaris (flavobacterium columnare), it's resistant to multiple antibiotics. Kanamycin is effective, SMZ/TMP, and other sulfa antimicrobials. Of course, salt doesn't hurt as an adjunctive treatment to assist with gill function/slime coat stimulation/osmoregulation- and it may help the fish recover quicker.
It can also be difficult to diagnose as well due to the different strains with varying symptoms. The more virulent strains can wipe out a tank overnight with no outward symptoms. Finding multiple fish/all fish dead the next morning could be from lots of different things, and there isn't a reliable way to differentiate the cause (without cytology/necropsy/diagnostics) if there are no symptoms of disease.
I am using similar treatment, both one male and female guppy showed signs of dropsy. Heavy breathing, no eating so I have been doing small water changes and keeping them in a 5 gallon tank. They have improved already, now they are eating small amounts of food and they are more active. Hopefully they will be fully healthy again.
Hi! Did you keep your sick guppies in a small container as well? No filter,no heater, no plants? I'm asking because I'm scared to take them out of the tank without filtration
I've been watching your videos for a while bro but it would help me if you put the option of subtitles in Spanish, since I am Mexican and I do not have much knowledge in English, thanks in advance and your wonderful species are appreciated
I have 2 guppy, one is lying on the bottom of tank, after seeing ur video, i decided to put that sleepy, inactive guppy in a bowl, so im having doubt is can i put the single guppy alone? Can we treat single guppy like that?
So wait just aquarium salt and drinking water is enough?, wouldn't they die from the water since its not conditioned? Also what about the temperature and oxygen like a small airstone?
Doesn't even need to be aquarium salt. Just pure rock salt with no additives will do the same. He didn't use tap water. He used bottled drinking water which doesn't contain chlorine or chloramines so it doesn't need conditioning. Guppies also have a wide water temperature tolerance.
I do the same with my Betta. But I use 1/4 salt in 1 cup water. I put the sick Betta in the solution for 45 seconds. Then I take em out and put the betta in 1 gallon tank with 4 indian almond leaves. The water gets extremely dark but this helps the Betta recover quickly. The fins will dissolve because of the salt used before but it'll fully recover in about 3 weeks. I've had them live years after this treatment without ever getting sick again. Edit: I change the water and leaves in the 1 gallon tank every 3 days for 3 weeks. This worked for every sickness my Bettas had except for the sickness where 1 female swole up and her scales were raised.
Fantastic work! I’m looking up all I can about guppies as I have never been successful with them until now. So successful they had babies 😂 I definitely will be watching more of your videos and I will now subscribe. Thank you 🙏🏼
I'm doing this right now with my last guppy female. But i think she has Columnaris which i do not think can be cured this way But she has fin rot, clamped fins and white stringy stool with patches of white on her back. 😢 I have meds in route, but they are still 2 or so days out. So i hope this can help reduce other issues and stress in the mean time. Thanks for the video
🚨 please I'm still unsure about rock salt whether it's aquarium rock salt or kitchen rock salt? 🚨 can i use the kitchen one? I'm honoured for your help 😇💖
I have roughly 50 to 60 guppies in a 35. I need help deciding what to do to keep them happier. Do I have to separate some so they arent to crowed? They also like 1 to 2 die a day. I clean the gravel. And filter. And some of the glass not all of it. Please help. Most my other fish are happy and healthy. I just struggle with guppies. They are probably easy to take care of but I think they are more fragile and prone to disease
Yea, mollies and gupplies are pretty similar, awuarium salt in general kills freshwater bacteria and dieseases, if they have white spots which is generally ich, you can also set a heater over 77 degrees to help speed the living cycle of ich and kill them
I have some guppy fry that seem to be a bad batch… I found two dead in the pond and three more that were lethargic. There are tons of them in there and only these several with the same coloring seemed to be off 🤔 I took them in to a hospital tank and add a pinch of aquarium salt.. will this help? I feel your method is too extreme for the tiny babies

How’s your Beta doing now?
Doing 3-5 days of Fasting/ tiny amount of pellets + Daily salt + some methlyne blue is a great solve too
You can also try treating with melaleuca oil but with recommended dosages.
salt is better because it causes an osmotic shock that destroys the cell membrane of the bacteria. 2 grams of sea salt for every 10 liters of water
Do we have to add salt daily?
for white spot just methlyne blue and small pellets did it for me
What kind of salt

If I knew this before,I can save many guppies. ThanX, because it work good!

I used salt himalayan. But only fast it a day. Cant bear to see they starve. And it did work.
MOST EXCELLENT TECHNIQUE CONGRATULATIONS.
Lost 5 female guppies because of fin rot, have tried to cure with some other method but not worked. Thank you for sharing this video. I will try the same.
I would do lots of research on columnaris in guppies. If that's the issue, salt by itself will probably not solve things.
Columnaris is very difficult to treat. I use my method only 50% chance of survival rate. But there is no wrong in trying so 🤷

I faced white spot disease once in rummy nose tetra and I used ridall anti ich liquid and fish got cured within one day
nice work glad you got them healed up :)

What type of salt did you use?
Was that your typical aquarium salt or something else? Would this also work for Neon Tetras?
they use rock salt dont use iodize salt.
coarse salt , raw salt, unrefined salt rock, salt that comes directly from the mine, without being treated with iodine or other additives.
Jaada namaz
Along with salt you can use tetracycline 500mg (actually 250mg enough) for a speedy recovery.
How to use tetracycline ist tab or powder
