hi folks,
just sharing...
normally for any external injuries, fungus, bacteria etc.
i use API Furan-2 board spectrum antibiotics commonly sold in fish shops for fishes.
they are quite effective against many infections etc,,
i used 1/3 teaspoon for 500ml of dechlorinated cool water. its a very heavy dosage soaked for 30 mins everyday for serious infections, or twice a week for minor infections until recovered. normally it will take 2 weeks or longer to fully recover.
For Bloat type symptoms i used API-Furan 2 + Rock salt from fish shops again
1/3 teaspoon Furan-2 and 1 teaspoon Rock salt for 500ml of water soaked for 30 mins everyday
But again keeping them cooler at below 21C is still the best way to avoid such sickness
i notice keeping them cooler at below 21C they seldom have much issues
thanks
So I made the poor decision of getting 3 fire belly newts from a relatively new shop.. Noticed a fungus infection developing on 2 of them 48 hours later. I immediately moved them and their whole tank into the basement far away from the other tanks, but I'm still worried.. Could it be bsal since it's very common on asian imported species? Could it be spread to the rest of my collection? How can I kill it? I've heard it can't survive temps over 25c.. thank you all in advance!
