What to deal with first ? chinodella or flukes?

Post by Drakoi »

Hey there.

There was a big problem with costia. Especially on the one fish.

After doing an FMG treatment of Kusuri. Next week in the scrape, I still see chinodella and flukes.

We did a second treatment with FMG.

Now I am about to perform scrape again.

If I see chinodella and flukes. which one should i deal with first? also how do you sugget me treating it. Guarantin tank not available so it is bath or treat the whole pond, which to be honest is not that big of a deal.

I have available all Kusuri products.

Just a quick update.
I did find chinodella and 2-3 gill flukes on the fish which is suffering for a long time now. The guy had it for 1 month before I went to see his fish and before that the fish was not eating.

The fish has lost a lot of weight.

He is now on the 3rd treatment. Temperatures are quite high 28+ C during the day.

If after a week, chinodella still on scrape. What do I do ?

yeap. Unfortunately, I do not have access to Formalin only to increase the dose. There is MG alone though.

that's why they are still there

I would salt to 1 oz per gallon and use MG on its own

Do I have any chance treating it with baths?

There are plants in the pond that the guy doesnt want them to be affected by salt.

I am not near by man. I am an 8 hours flight from the UK. Now if I was Richard Bradson, it would be no problem to take a flight there and back but because of genetic bad luck or genetic conspiracy, I am someone else ;p
