RE: Nothobranchius guentheri
Hi Anton,
First do a major water change. Next push up the temperature. Add a tsp per
gallon of salt. Then 2 drops per gallon of acriflavine every day for a few
days. Leave the acriflavine in for a few weeks.
Harvest your eggs before treatment, acriflavine is not good for eggs.
This treatment will not harm your fish. But it will usually kill any velvet
which you may have. There will be few viable eggs recovered while you are
treating.
In batch rearing females usually grow more slowly.
I for one have trouble seeing velvet. When my Nothos start dieing without
apparent cause and I know that there is no problem with the water I treat as
indicated herein.
It works a treat. Unfortunately badly infected fish usually do not recover.
Peace,
~RJ~

Subject: Nothobranchius guentheri
I'm wondering if I've got some velvet on some female Notho's. Personally the
males look great but the females have always lagged behind in their
development and now I'm noticing an inflammation of sorts around the
gills..being as that the density of females in the tank was low I didn't
think to add salt...the 2 infected individuals also have a habit of
occsaionally swimming on their sides...any prognosis out there guys and
gals?And a possible fish medication or dosage of salt to help them along?
Many thanks
Anton
