Well, water change, dosage of Fish Protector and Kent’s Vitamin C. Removal of GAC already. Turned off the BULB on the UV but not the flow – not sure if I can run UV while using Maracyn SW. Dosed with Maracyn SW. The only products carried by my local Petco are “Lifeguard” and “Maroxy”. Maracyn has been solid against this exact malady in the past when applied quickly (have seen this exactly same Fin Rot like this rampage through my Dragonette broodstock a few years back..it wasn’t pretty). I should also mention that Maracyn SW is noted as a valid treatment for fin rot. Anyone know the MARDEL company website? I want to email them some questions but I can’t even seem to find a good solid contact for them.
Let’s hope this at least stalls things. I am contemplating sequestering the Lightning Maroon back behind an eggcrate wall again – Dustin Dorton from ORA asked me about that as well this evening. And once again, thinking about removing the Lightning Maroon from this tank…he remains a typical healthy Maroon Clown. There is legitimate concern that leaving him in with her could cause more harm than good. Of course, I don’t like my options for alternate homes, and there is also the concern that removing him from her would cause him to become a her…
It’s funny how this all has taken precedence over any concerns about the known ongoing low-level issues with Cryptocaryon (ICH). I’m still debating whether I should push back down to 1.010 or even 1.009 as Joe Lichtenbert has suggested. I should point out that the better sources on Hyposalinity treatments do agree that the difference between 1.009 and even 1.010 might make the difference between successful treatment or not. Of course, you’re riding a fine line at 1.009 where fish death is a real possiblity (if you’re refractometer is even only slightly off).
