Tarpon in aquarium?

[HUKIT]

I’ll try, but I’m pretty sure it’s a starvation issue. I don’t think they had eaten for over a mothe and a half when I got them. I asked the owner what he feeds and he said he feeds pellets, so I asked him to throw some pellets in the tarpon tank, and they didn’t even look at them, leading me to believe they have not eaten in a very long time.

They definitely look emaciated and loss of appetite and refusing to eat is a very common symptom of internal parasites.

Do you think that PraziPro (I think it’s made by hikari) would be able to clear that up.

Those two drugs affect different classes of disease organisms; praziquantel is an anti-worm medication. It is used mainly against fluke parasites, and sometimes turbellarians. Metronidazole is used to treat protozoan diseases, and some anaerobic bacteria. Metronidazole should be your priority. API General Cure has both but the dosage method I use would be very expensive using their. Buying metro in bulk is the way to go.

I also treat using Gabe’s method and not the typical two doses.
The treatment, you want to use is one gram for every 20 gallons (75.71 l) of water. So, If you’ve got a 100 gallon (0.38 m³) tank, you’re going to need 5 grams. Treat daily for 10 days by dissolving in water. I do a 50% water change prior to the dose.

I buy my metro from Jack Wattley Discus. I don’t know why size tank you have but 100g for $65 includes overnight shipping.
