Many thanks! I will continue with his meds. I am thankful that he is already recuperating. I will ask first from the local pet stores here in the Philippines and if none I will get one from eBay. You too good luck!

Update: his poop is already like this after 3-4 days of metro treatment. Should i still continue with the pre-soaking of pellets in azoo anti-endoparasite(with metronidazole component) and putting dissolved metro in the tank? Thanks

Yes you were right! It's hexa! I think his case was already a systemic one. I just realized that the lesion on his left side was already an onset of lateral line erosion. I thought it was just a traumatic lesion. Anyway what made me realized that it was indeed hexa was the appearance of 2...

I see. Yes there will always be remaining residues. That's why prevention is always better than cure. Good luck and thank you again!

Alright. Maybe the reason why you had less favorable results with metro is that you weren't able to complete the regimen treatment? I can't blame you considering metro is toxic to the fish's renal system. After this treatment I will probably do prevententive measure for hexa. Maybe once a month...

Usually the course of metro treatment for hexa lasts for how many days? Thank you

I see. Thanks a lot guys. Everything here is new to me. I did some readings before adopting one. And I know it's not enough. I am convinced that it was probably die to severe hex infection. And good thing is he is now recuperating. I am currently on Day 5 of metro and he is now improving. No...

I do hope they were just lesions. But I failed to update you guys that I failed to notice later on small bumps on his lower left and right body. And these appeared after he got stressed from hexa. Hence, I started with metro. I read that I can do both oral administration by mixing it with his...

I see! Thanks for the link and info!

Thank you! I'll look into it it in a bit. Hope they accept orders here from the Philippines.

Ah i see... he is still eating. Maybe i will try to soak the fish pellets in epsom salt/ water solution then give it to him. Hope it will work! Thanks for the info. Happy to hear that it worked in your fish.

Yes you are right. It is much better to prepare my own fish food, hence a balance diet. I started already with epsom salt. I have read it is a sort of laxative. Maybe I'll use it for 5 days becasue he had episodes of passing out white stringy poop. Then maybe at least once a month from then on...

Okay I'll grab some peas and green veggies then I'll do what you said! Thank you again!

hello! Any suggestions about best vegetable based fish pellets in the market? I'm planning to cut down from giving high protein pellets such as humpy head and okiko platinum. my 5-6 inches flowerhorn seems to have anal prolapse right after eating which resolves after few minutes. And this is...

Here is his picture with the fading part. Thanks

Is it same with my flowerhorn? Attached here is his pic. Any update about your flowerhorn? Thank you

Yes it is :( It really bothered me because it increases in number and like what I have said it disappear then after few hours those white thing, the encircled one in one of his pic, shows back again.

help guys! Few days a go I noticed one white thread-like on his kok. I just thought some sort of dirt. Then few days later, it increased in number from one to 4. those stuffs come and go. His color is fading especially his balck plum. Though no changes in his appetite. Also he has now blotchy...

Hi, thanks anyway. I did some readings. And I guess I was right it was a viral infection called lymphocystis. It is usually non-fatal. You were right that I should just keep eye on it becasuse since it is viral in origin, it has no treatment or medication but only supportive measures...
