Due to give the second dose today (4 days) will do it after the 50% water change.
Could still see white spots last night though hopefully time will heal it.

I couldn’t find ICH-X in the U.K. so popped into pets at home and got there love fish version which has what I believe are the same active ingredients (forhalimide)

https://www.pufferfishenthusiastsworldwide.com/post/colomesusasellus Hmmm I see, that’s a very good article, goes against what most information says on them RE numbers. Not saying it wrong I feel it’s probably the most up to date one and very well written. Just a bit upset i didn’t see that exact o...

No, that is old-school & is harmful to the fish. Better to use Ich-X. Do you only have 1 puffer? Hi, Saw you’d surguested that but doesn’t seem easy to find in the U.K.? Yeah one Amazon in there, was either one or a bunch of 6 but they’re about £20 each near me! A school Of them would be nice t...

Hi all, I have had this Amazon puffer about two weeks, about a week ago the first white spot started. I knew it would probably come. Is up the heat to 28 and add table salt still a go to? Been a few years once my arrow head puffer. 200l aquarium Planted Set up over a year 307 with sponge and media 5...

its odd as they're normaly very angular in shape, was great to see!!

i've got loads of pictures, but there not very good as there on my phone, i'd just finished my night shift, come home at 7am and lay in bed, look up and see him starting to grow!! really fast :lol: he kept just stroling around for an hour puffing up and down, some times more then others, did it the ...

i think they sulk, i went away for a week and had my partner come in and feed them, she does a good job, but he wasnt too happy and sulked alot, now i've been back a while he's happy again!

maybe try something live? shrimp? worm?

i stick to frozen prawn and muscle and shelled cockle, i wanna try something new though, tried shrimp and he couldnt care less lol gonna try breed some shrimp to try again, alot of people dont recomend live fish, i guess if you quarinteen'd (sp) it for long enough ect ect..... i'd like to try a crab...

i thought arrow heads weren't known for eating them? It had been a week, and today i offered a prawn. As soon as it was close enough he went for it and had a good fight. Then went off and has been normal ever since, more side fin movement, more interest in me. Guess he was just grumpy! Lol Great tip...

some good points there, i'm doing this on my phone so sorry if its hard reading. For the swap i was gonna thin out one half then push it all to one end, then add half the new stuff, thought small black pebbles, then slowly over time remove the remainer. Were talkin over about a month or more. I'd ha...

Hi all i've had my Arrow head a little while now, and he used to come up and see me when i got close to the tank, and every other day to every 3 days when i lowered a prawn in, he would leap up and chase it. but i went away for a week, and had my better half feed him (shes great with it) and now it ...
