Hi all I have had trouble with flicking fish since i got x 2 new tinfoil's !!! I have 3 tinfoil barbs from 7 inch to 13 inch !!!! + 12 inch clarias and a 20 inch rt x tsn cat !!! Mainly the tinny's that are flicking !!! they have been doing this for around 8 week's my water is fine !!!! I have put in a sterazin p treatment that i started on monday did the 2nd dose yesterday and am due to do the 3rd dose out of 5 on saturday !!! the fish have been flicking a bit more than normal today and rubbing there belly's under there gills and also like gulping !!! could this be due to the treatment starting to kill the fluke's ? And the fish trying to clear them out !!! Or something else ? Have never used sterazin before !!! I might not even have fluke's but don't know !! If any one can help me out or has used sterazin before i would be very great full !!! Thank's
 
Hmmm...I can't remember the active ingredients of Sterazin. Do you have the list of active ingredients?
 
I haven't mate sorry !!! All it say's on the bottle is contains formaldhyde I think it also contain's ammonium i read somewhere !!! Cuz i had to take out my ammo chip's zeolite rock's !!!! Here is a vid of the tinny's !!! It's a bit long but ill put times on the vid !!! thay are not doing it as much as yesterday !!! About the same as they have been for week's !!! When i got the two smaller one's they where a bit unhealthy had a few ulcers ect and the main one flicking in the vid had a scratch on his eye !!! all the ulcers went and the fish were fine for a couple of week's !!! and now they are doing this !!!! i think that the 2 new one's brought something into my tank !!!! but the main tinny in the vid !!! His eye got better and then got worse again ! But this could be fluke's aswell as the flicking ect
This vid is from today 5 day's into the sterazin p treatment !!! no sign's of fish getting better yet !!! none of the other fish flicking more stuff happening at around 4 t 6 mins
