Aquarium Medications are a big part of our wonderful hobby. Unfortunately, it's also a very complicated part of it. With so many diseases and medications who knows what to use for what, and how strong a medication should I use or not. Or even, do I really need aquarium medication at all?

As I am a complete newbie to fish keeping hobby so was just wondering how to treat for intestinal parasites etc. for small tropical freshwater fish which are around only 2cm- 4cm being the largest size in my 18.5-20 US Gallon fish tank or 70 litre which I have. As I had my firsh tank/ aquarium set up for over 1 year or around 1.5 years doing fishless cycling method and having growing out some live plants using Fritz Zyme 7 live nitrifying bacteria and for natural ammonia using Fritz zyme fishless fuel. According to my local pet store/ fish store they said my fish tank water was very well cycled and very good consistent water parameters except that my water PH being slightly high at 7.6 and also quite high water hardness but other than that completely good. I have quite a lot of live beginner aquarium plants covering nearly my whole aquarium and the fish I have are 5 small red cherry barbs, 2 bright and wonderful Yellow Honey Gourami and 2 beautiful black/ greyish colour Dwarf Suckermouth Catfish/ Otto which are very much like plecos (Latin name: Otocinclus. sp.) As they only tend to stick to the sides of my glass fish tank or on top of ornaments or my live plants. As for regarding health generally majority of the fish look very nice, vibrant colour and swimming around well however one of the red Cherry barb is looking quite sluggish or at least down at the bottom of the fish tank by himself and not eating much mostly unlike the other community fish or possibly something red sticking out of it's underside belly lile bloat possibly??? I have also one of catfish I noticed strangely just started yesterday white stringy poop coming out as it was swimming around which if correct according to my research/ knowledge is obvious sign of intestinal parasites etc. Other than that all my other fish such as my 2 Yellow Honey Gourami are completely fine and seem to be very healthy and doing very well, looking fine and eating well etc. Any useful information/ tips and advice would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. As obviously unlike in this wonderful KZfaq video I obviously can't treat fish individually by taking them out of the fish tank and lying them flat on a towel etc. as my fish are way too small. Also unfortunately as I don't have enough money I only have 1 fish tank so no other separate fish tank to use as a hospital tank to treat the fish that maybe looking sick in my opinion individually. As recommended by Kaveman Aquatics KZfaq channel I have been using since I bought my fish (not bought all at once obviously) using Seachem stability and Seachem Prime and Seachem Flouish Advance for my live plants. Thank you, Kind regards, Tom from UK.

Kev, being as the Green/Blue Slime is a bacteria I'll put this here. I had both of my 55 gals. Cichlid tanks hit with this Slime. At first, I thought it was algae but soon learned what it really was. I dissolved 3 , 500 mg. Amoxicillin tablets in water and added it to my tank and let it sit, covered and in darkness,for 2 days. The fish and everything stayed in the tank. At the end of the first two days, I did a massive water change, approx. 75 to 80 % and then added 1500 mg. of Amoxicillin again., covered the tank,and waited two more days, and then another massive water change. At this point in time the Slime started to disappear like magic. there wasn't much Slime left on anything in my tank and my tank appeared as clean as ever. Meanwhile, my fish were doing fine. After the last water change when my tank was clear I did another massive water change and added carbon to my filter to get the meds out of my tank so I could get my Nitrogen Cycle restarted.Twice now this has worked for me and it takes a lot of manual work of removing the Slime away because it seems to melt away and disappear. It's been 4 months since my first tank was cleared this way and there are no signs of Slime returning anywhere in it.

That puffer has my dying laughing dude thanks for the video!!! I’m new to the aquarium scene. I have a year old angelfish as well as three upside down catfish I did have a bass of shark and a rare clown Paco. Sadly, I ended up getting a beta and I have separation screens in my tank, which is 150 gallon tank. I have it divided into 50 gallons. Then another 50 and 50. So each fish has 50 gallons, the beta had ick and gave all my fish shit so I’m now battling that using the super ick cure as well as slime coat and stress coat protection. As well as aquarium salt and a little bit of garlic. I also raise the temperature to 84° gradually. I’ll probably come edit and update this post in a little bit. Editing-->

I've just joined up cuz I love your videos! I'm a new fish person, I took some discus in for a friend who was moving, and you have helped so much with this scissor sharp learning curve. My fishies have developed a new thing though, and it's scaring me. It started with one, he leans sideways and starts shaking his head back and forth really fast, as seen in horror movies, just not as fast. He still eats when I feed them, though sometimes doesn't come up to get it from my hand like the rest do. It lasts a few seconds, and happens anywhere from every few seconds to a few times an hour. Sometimes after a particularly bad episode he just lays at the bottom, leaning heavily on the side of the tank. I've watched all of your sick fish videos, and haven't been able to find anything like this. Now two more have started this behavior, what the heck is going on???? Their poop looks good, water parameters in check, regular water changes, no spots or flashing but they do like pretty miserable :(

@KaveManAquatics 9 ай бұрын

Hey Debora...for some reason your comment was in the spam section...sorry I missed it. So as a beginner I recommend never saying "water Parameters n check" or any other variation of that. There are many parameters to consider and in order for anyone to help, either here or in forums, or even in my facebook group, we need to know those exact parameters. Like Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH, temperature, Hardness, phosphates, silicates...all of those matter. 😊

My nicrew light doesnt really have settings, just on and off, if I remember correctly. Don't use that one anymore.

This is a great video Kev! Very useful as I have had some losses lately . In your opinion, what type of infection can a firefish have if he has many black inky small spots on him . He seems fine with them for a long time and others don’t got them but I would really address the issue but don’t know with what.

Love this video, the only Medication not mentioned from seachem was sulfaplex, there's not much info about it, is it because it's just a milder version of there other Medications?

@jjaqzi Жыл бұрын

What's up Kev. Great video. I have a 75-gallon with about 20-25 cichlids. I have metroplex, focus, and kanaplex. Many of them have these issues. Do I have to put it in the food or can I just put it directly into the tank and let them breathe it in? I don't use carbon.

@gretchengengo4068 Жыл бұрын

I'm doing your heat method with my tank to get rid of ich and it's worked like a charm! THANK YOU. I do have a question though - once the 10 days is up, everything in the tank is now "ich free"? Filter media and all? I'm going to be setting up a quarantine tank and would like to use some filter media to kick start it but also don't want to introduce that into the new tank.

I use seachem paraguard sometimes but because I live in the uk I have to order it from the USA to get it delivered here.. It’s annoying as we have every seachem product apart from the paraguard and stress guard…. So I have to order it in bulk so I don’t run out lol… Great video dude..I’m getting through a backlog lol

Yes you are right. You have to be careful with all meds when it comes to scaleless fish. Dont use any of the strong stuff, just the mild stuff, like ParaGuard, general cure and metroplex. I'll try to get a video like this on my list 😊

@KaveManAquatics 2 жыл бұрын

I agree, its very hard to diagnose sometimes. I am no expert in that field, so I recommend using one of the broad-based meds. Start with lighter ones, if they dont work, then try the stronger stuff.

@@KaveManAquatics thx! I've used tetra all-in-one treatment In a hospital tank and I'm currently treating the big tank with melafix. All of the fish with the mystery illness passed away, I'm just finishing up with the melafix hoping to kill whatever it is in the tank. A lot of the medications and treatments that you shown are hard to get up here in Canada.

Hey man, just want to start off by saying I have learned almost everything I know from you. I appreciate your content and it really helps. I woke up this morning to one of my peacocks looking very out of it and his fins looked rough. I came home from work and he had an eye missing and was severely sick. I just euthanized him and my water parameters are pretty close to perfect. I don't know what could have caused this and what I should be looking out for to make sure my other 22 fish stay healthy as they are. Thanks and I appreciate anything you have to say

@KaveManAquatics 4 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear that bro! Sometimes it can be as simple as a physical injury. Could have scraped his eye on a piece of decor, or gotten into a fight while you weren't looking. If there's no other signs of disease in the tank I wouldn't worry about it too much right now. Just keep a close eye on everyone for a while.

Hey! I’m a little confused. In one video you said don’t treat prophylactically fish that you get from an outside source. Am I to understand that now you feel like it’s a good idea? I love your videos and after going through a terrible case of ick and loosing half my fish, I’m thinking that treating new fish right from the beginning might be a good idea. I appreciate your opinion and the way you relay the info. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your info!

Hello, Thank you for your support and videos. I have a question about medicating my betta. He shows signs of a little bloat and extreme inactiveness. I tried a few epsom salt baths but that didn't work. I tried the frozen pea food but he doesn't seem to have an appetite unless I drop the food in his face. I tried putting General Cure in his 10 gallon aquarium (no other fish or snails in it) and I have a sponge filter. Do I need to remove the sponge and floss filter during this treatment? I do not have carbon filter. Can I use the filter without sponge and floss during his treatment? Pretty much of a beginner on this and your advice helps, thank you!

Hey Kev, can you help me out? I have a 29 gallon power filter and the water that is splashing into the tank is causing microbubbles, tank is planted with live plants the plants aren't pearling the microbubbles are just coming from the water splashing into the tank, how can I get rid of it? Is it healthy or harmful? Should I get a different power filter? I haven't stocked the tank yet. Wanted to make sure to find a solution before buying fish, I dont have an air pump either. Thank you!!
