Maracyn-Two for Goldfish2007-11-24 23:38:55

My goldfish has had fin rot and I tried treating him twice with Maracyn, but it just kept coming back and getting worse. I've decided to up it a level and try Maracyn-Two. Has anyone had any experience with this medication? What can I expect? How were your results? Thanks!

Answers:

Have you tried using slat for freshwater aquariums. It doesn't kill the cycle of your tank which stops the stress of water spikes after most treatment (which leaves your fish open for more infections). Add one tablespoon for every 5 gallons of water. It stops the infection, speeds healing, and causes the fish to produce more slime protecting them form further problems. Do a 50% water change and add it to your tank. You don't have to remove parts of the filter or anything and it can be used permanently (added to the new water of every water change).

Never tried it , always had good results with tetra-cycleline

Tetra products is all I've ever used and there are several treatments that you just put in the water.

When you see signs that your goldfish may be ill, make sure you check the water and correct any problems before medicating. Visit GAB's sick fish forum for more help.

PARASITES

General Symptoms: Flashing (rubbing against objects in the tank), difficulty breathing, spots or changes in slimecoat.

Treatment: Treat the whole tank as the parasites often live in the environment. Remove carbon from filter and perform a small water change before treatment.
