Hello Everyone,
I am new here...I did not see the introduction forum...so here it goes.
I have (what I perceive to be) a very healthy 29 gallon freshwater community tank.
I perform weekly water changes and have not added new fish in over a year.
My resident Angelfish has HIH / LLD, as displayed by an open sore on his lateral line.
I have been treating him with Metronidazole (Seachem) in his food, however I have been conservative with the doses.
The directions say 1-2 measures (each about 100 mg) for every 10 gallons, (I have been giving one measure per every 10 gallons).
Repeat every 2 days until symptoms disappear.
I removed the carbon filtration and mixed the medicine with his food as directed.
He is not getting better, rather he is getting worse.
Is Metronidazole the best remedy? Is there something better out there that I can treat my Angel Fish with?
Thank you,
Lorie
