Set up a QT and medicate him with formalin or a marinefish medication that contains formalin. Note that formalin is carcinogenic and therefore be very careful in handling it and clean everything carefully.

The other fish in your aquarium can be treated with garlic extreme soaked dry foods, feeding very often and only garlic extract soaked foods.

so I should get formalin? what about prazipro as it was brought up by another member
I just checked J&L site and they dont have formalin, is there anything that could substitute it?

I have started feeding all the other fish garlic soaked nori, pellets and frozen food. ( does doing so prevent them from getting ill like the naso?)

Thanks alot naesco

Formalin is found in Rid Ich I believe, and Quick Cure and X Ich and Formalite medication
Prazipro is for worms

Got it !

but is it possible to treat both at once?
as it has ich And it also has pinched stomach which could lead to internal parasite?

in my QT, should i use New water or water from the tank?

Thanks alot !

I guess its perfect timing, first floor is soon to be renovated, so I had to move my tank. ( the 120 and 65 )
which means I ll be able to take all the fish out and QT them.

chloroquine can be used with praziquantel (Prazipro) as well..

Hey, which medi is chloroquine?
I tried searching it on J&L as well and had no results.

Thanks

It's not normally available without prescription, but I've got an ad up now selling some.

Ya, that's the problem I had treating all my fish. By the time I got the meds, I'd lost half my fish. Something to keep on hand for the future!
