You can safely add Melafix with any meds.

Damn caliper. Good luck getting it sorted, along with the Mbu.

Midge

Update - Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10 it's getting there!!!

Midge is more lively today, but still a bit strange, colour is fine, top and bottom, still lying on the sand looking out, then he will swim fine, all of a sudden dart off really fast, he may bump into things, but he has not damaged himself, treatment as you know has been water changes, Epsom salts & Kusuri.

I will continue to monitor and probably add Melafix, once again thanks everyone for your help

Midge has just eaten, me thinks he is getting better

good to hear

Here's hoping, have you noticed any white stringy poo or anything unusual at all after treating with Kusuri. I would probably re-treat with Kusuri in 7 days again and another epsom salt treatment as well after the next water change.

yeah will do, no to poo, I will keep an eye on him

Midge is still not doing anything, he just stares out of the tank, I have heard that they do sulk, is this correct, like I said he did eat yesterday, and his colour is fine, getting a bit concerned again,dunno what else I can do.

They can sulk, if food is not on offer my Fahaka wont move some days just stares at me, when he's hungry he wil become very active I just take that as how it is. Keep doing what you have already been doing and hopefully he'll come round. Try the tank with the light off as well, see if he becomes more active in lower light levels.
