Saw improvements in infected fish in a few hours :)
So I only got this today but I'm going to share some things I've already noticed about my infected fish.<br /><br />I have a 5.5 gallon tank with 7 fish. 3 guppies, 1 adult swordtail, and 3 juvinile swordtails. They are going to be moved to a 15 gallon tank this weekend hopefully with their trapdoor snail friend.<br /><br />Just 3 days ago I noticed camallanus worms from my smallest guppy. He had been skittish more then usual but I thought that may be due to the juvinile swordtails being about his size and more active then as fry. I noticed the worms later in the evening and acted quick to do a water change and gravel vaccum of the tank as well as changing the filter. The sick guppy hadn't eaten anything for 3 days nor has he had bowel movements. Pretty soon 2 of my other fish showed worms, a medium guppy, and a juvenile swordtail. Luckily they were both still eating even by today.<br /><br />So by following another review I did 5ml per gallon of medicine after disolving it in 1/2 cup of water. So about 25ml for my tank. Before adding the medicine, I did to a water change of about 50% to also vaccum up old feces so I can monitor the water condition before and after putting the medicine in. The two more infected fish who hadn't had bowel movements FINALY had some a few hours after I put the medication in. The worms are still visible but I can see some in the droppings as well meaning that they are being pushed along through the fish. The small guppy also has his appetite returning and is returning to swimming around the tank with his guppy friends. My juvinile is having more active bowel movements like before for a fry and is acting energetic again. Before I put the medicine in, I did remove my snail and put him in a seperate containment away from the fish and medicine so that he would be safe.<br /><br />Make sure to remove your carbon filter when administering the medication or it'll all get sucked up into the filter. And remove any shrimp, crabs, or snails from the tank. Don't overdose the tank but also don't underdose. Thank you to the kind fellows who figured out the ratio as it seems to be working out in my tank.<br /><br />If anything goes drastically wrong I may update this but it looks super promising!
