anyway, have a good friday evening, enjoy your dinner and after dinner programs

[IcecruncherZ]

Thats strange! My Atlantic Blue also has whitish growths on its fins too! I suspect it' lymphocytosis though.

Possibly parasites on the majority of the shipment?

[roidan]

IcecruncherZ,

not too sure about that but i did see an ABT in the showtank today.

I really hope our pieces wun get fullblown severity of such an attack..i am currently using Waterlife Myzaxin, but i also have Seachem Paraguard which i bought a long time ago but haven't got the chance to open it up to use...

both are similar in a way that they are broad spectrum bacteriacide..

but the seachem paraguard does not have formalin..whereas the myzaxin has formaldehyde

[IcecruncherZ]

Dosing either will be a problem, unless I can catch that little bugger out, but he's too fast (or maybe I'm too slow)

I've been trying to get some information off the net, but I havent been productive. Roidan, do you have any idea if FW dips will be effective in our cases?

I always believe that FW dip cause more harm than good... Yes upon dipping some parasite maybe remove but those very stubborn one may not fall off... and upon adding to tank.. those free swimming stage of the parasite will once again attack the fish and this time worst cos the fish is much more weaker and stress

My ABT got it but i left it alone.. after few days.. its gone

[roidan]

personally, i really mean personally, i do not like freshwater dip as i feel that it stresses the fish more rather than kill what it is supposed to kill.

In the end the fish upon further stress may just give up fighting.

My preferred way for my ABT is change water more frequently, use myzaxin, and feed it a well balanced diet. It does help alot that my piece is eating well for now at least.

But you never know when the condition may worsen till it stops eating. By then, it's just the path of no return.

hehe mine is gettign fiercer by day..... now start to challenge sohal for throne again. anyway its eating everything i give.. brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, ulva, pang chai, cyclopeeze, pellet food, prawn meat

[IcecruncherZ]

Mine only eats LARGE whole mysis or brine, but he eats it so ravenously. He wont touch cyclopeeze or even Henry's food!

As long as he's eating, I'm not overly worried, as Roidan says, hope that the condition doesnt become full blown!

Strange that all our ABTs got it to a certain extent...

[roidan]

dispar,

lucky you...and luckily for me, i did not release him immediately into my main system after buying, otherwise i wun be able to eat properly these few days seeing him develop such stuff together with all my fishes around him

IcecruncherZ,

probably the ABTs cannot get used to what we can provide for them...

thus they were susceptible to this disease...

never mind, we just do what we can for them, the rest, is up to the fishes themselves

[roidan]

that's why i am happy for you...

glad to see at least one of us here have a great piece of ABT swimming around...

[IcecruncherZ]

Shit lor, really regret not quarantining the little bugger, but his stressed up chrevron colouration was making me panic, so I just dumped him in. Bah~

Yeah hope our darlings are resilient! hehe

[roidan]

yeap, all the best for all our pieces
