Clown loach with skinny disease?

[Jamesy]

It's extremely bad, I tried esha hexamita but that didn't work. I also tried raising the temp to 82. Any advice? I need some quickly.

I had2 that had it. I used api general cure, kept the temp at 84 with a little salt and fed them everytime i walked past the tank

Alright, Thanks! For a 70g (UK gallons) how much salt should I add? I heard it's like a teaspoon for every gallon? I'm a bit nervous about adding salt...

 

[strollo22]

Start with a halfdose. Do 1 teaspoon every 2 or 3 gallons.

I'm horrible at maths and when I use an online calculator it comes up different results. I'm guessing that's 42 teaspoons for every 3 gallons? I'm still a bit nervous, Will this effect any other fish? Should I do water changes?

 

[strollo22]

Start with 20 teaspoons.

Okay, Thanks but what about my other Q's? Will this effect my fish to even the point of death? Should I do water changes?

No a little salt won't harm them. Follow the instructions on the medicine for when you should change water

Pictures? Also there is a skinny disease sticky in the loach sub forum.

The drugs involved are pretty hardcore though.

Yeah, I saw that, I don't have the drugs so I'll stick to this. Sorry, No pics, Camera connection is lost. One more question, Can I just use normal Tetra marine sea salt?
