yea thats what i'm trying so he keeps his strength he te 3x today 1 big 2 liittle 1 was a piece of shrimp soaked in garlic .
i now know why mbu needs massive filtration and massive wc when he eats its like a grinder stuff comes flying out his gills like one of those tree grinders lol but i'm serious ,my fahaka is not nearly close to that and he's messy but mbu is a grinding machine :lol:

Are you adding the ip meds to his food yet? You wanna get those inside him too. If he is swimming and eating he still has plenty of fight left in him. However you want to get rid of the infestations ASAP

How is it going with your mbu Gar?You should see the mess come out of my arrowheads gills when he eats lol. He sometimes just eats the full thing with no mess which is nice.

Well i was going too then i decided to wait for the ick to be completly gone,... but i tried a little piece of shrimp soaked in garlic with a piece of fizz tab in it he ate it then blew it out so not sure if it did any good, so rather than anymore stress rite this moment while he still eating im gonna hold off...The spots are gone except 1 on his eye so i only have a week or so of treatment left , then im gonna go with ip treatment but his poop has color now but still looks like strings of beads and big beads?

Glad you are getting there. Continue ich treatment for 14 days after last visible spot has gone as it may still be in his gills. Is his belly sinking down quickly after eating? Good job so far

Selling him to a shop does not give you the option to get him into a proper environment.

Why do you think that was my plan ?
IDK if you recieved my reply but this is charlie .


The mbu seems to be ok but maybe he has ip i'm not sure he's eating fine but has a chain of sausage like waste so .
I was thinking stress due to all of his problems or ip's but hes eating good and is fat and round :D
