Re: Clout

Hello Charles,  thanks for the tip.  Next time I'm doing battle with bloat, I will try the brine shrimp method.  I have soaked pellets in metronidazol before with fairly good results (of course the fish have to be eating, and a fish that is eating isn't too far gone yet).  regards, Ron

I have had moderate success with this method. I have also allowed white worms to set in the concentrated medication solution before feeding. Not the highest success rate either. the BBS has given me the best results -effected the highest cure rate. I have never seen much cure in just treating the tank water. I think it is asking too much to expect the sick fish to eat enough water to do any work on the protozoa.
