Once again
Hi all
I've got to the stage were I've had enough!!!
I've had costia, flukes and lost a lot of fish.
I've treated with 0.9 salt to get rid of costia. Fluke M to get rid of flukes..
Done a scrap tonight and once again I've got costia and what looks like Chilodonella,
Salt is down to 0.15
The fish look a lot better and eating well.
What can I use to treat.
Many thanks
Mark

Re: Once again
Hi Duncan.
Thanks for the quick delivery.
I've got 0.6% salt and done first treatment.
Any other tips you can give?
I will be treating every other day, but will do a scrape on the third treatment.
Temp is 24 degs.
When is it best to carry out a water change? And how much?
Sorry for the question but still learning

Re: Once again
Hi Duncan
Just to let you know I've still got the little blighters after using all the treatment. The fish are a million times better than what they were, there is a hell of a reduction of them when I carry out scrapes on other fish.
Is it worth ordering some more of the treatment or trying something else

Re: Once again
Hi Duncan
I did about 6 treatments then stopped.. then about 2 weeks later I noticed 1 or 2 of my fish hanging again. So carried out a scrape and found costia again.
I must say that are not in the same numbers as before
So last week I finished off the ICC. .
The pond parameters are salt 0.06%, 23 deg. PH 8, Amonnia 0.03

My thought on this are: You wont have costia on all your fish the parasite does not work that way its opportunist in its nature and it picks on a weak fish other stronger fish wont display the disease
you need to isolate the ones with it and treat them separately when you do this you can start being more aggressive with the disease

Re: Once again
Many thanks for your thoughts.
Would you suggest putting the fish in quarratine and ramping up the heat to 28deg ?
Also what treatment would you advise

Re: Once again
The reason why I'm asking is that this year there are many people that I know are having major problems with bacterial and costia .
So its not just me your helping but loads of others as well.
Once again thanks for your help
