Re: BIG PROBLEMS... all puffers sick...

Hi! I`m pretty new when it comes to puffers. (I have had a suvattii for some months). But I`m somewhat experienced when it comes to fish-keeping and in particular Loaches. Loaches have a major problem when it comes to secondary bacterial infections, so I know what you`re going through. There is a re...

Re: Tips on feeding my Suvattii

Thanks for the tip :D The tank is full of tiny snails. Something which is quite remarkable as it used to be a Loach/Botia tank.

He reluctantly eats it, but not in in such proportions as when i use Scampi. It seems to me that using just S...

Re: Other IP treatments

When you say "bath". What do you mean? A major overdose a very short while, or just soaking the fish in antibiotics? Levamisole will definetly kill most parasites, but it wont help on secondary infections. (As i`m sure you know :D ) Again I must emphasize that this is a very common problem...

Re: Other IP treatments

Hi! I`m new to TPF (in fact this is my first post) but I have been an aquarist for some time. My prime interest is Loaches (in addition to my suvattii) and as I`m sure you know, Loaches are very much troubled by emaciation - also known as "skinny disease". The solution has 99% of the time ...
