Hi Friends,
I'm unsure if this is posted in the correct spot, so admins feel free to move accordingly if need be. My question wasn't about diseases, more about products and mixing.
We had an injury to our little firemouth, I'm happy to tell the story if need be, but my question more relates to treatment of injuries. Originally I tried Bactershield the moment we put the firemouth into the qt/hospital tank to heal. It had tears and some minor scraps from rocks when removed. By the second day, the poor thing looked 10x worse and had a white fungus around the base of it's tail. I'm assuming it had an infection from it's injuries so we used Quick Cure since I've had luck with it in the past. We decided not to euthanize because if it was going to fight and improve, I was going to do everything I could do give it that chance.
After I switched over to the Quick Cure, the fungus fell off within minutes. While the firemouth looks ridiculous with zero tail and tears it it's fins, it looks like it's healing. The top fins are already healing together and the infected tail is gone leaving a pink healing nub. Once listless, it's actually moving and reacting to our presence, every day it's looked more alive. Which is the whole reason why I've gone through the trouble of not putting it out of it's misery. I've done one 50% w/c the first day, and 25-30% w/c every day for the past 4 days then retreating with Quick Cure.
My Stress Guard (seachem) finally came in the mail today. I'm wondering if these two products can be mixed together or if I should switch over to the Stress Guard. I'm having some luck with the Quick Cure, but Stress Guard is supposed to be an amazing product that may be a better option.
Thanks to my LFS giving me a huge box of freebie products I currently have:
Mardel-
Bactershield
protoshield
maracyn
marcide
maracyn two
maracyn oxy
maroxy
coppersafe
Aquarium Products/APro "Quick Cure"
Biozyme
So if anyone has experience with any of these products let me know, I have not used any of these since I rarely use medications. Reviews not necessarily for my current issue (though if anyone thinks they will help, let me know) but in a general sense.
I also currently have
Seachem Prime-used with W/C's
PraziPro
Stability
Kordon Methylene Blue
and now StressGuard
Don't need reviews, this is just what I have in my artillery
