Hi,

A couple of days ago i saw one of my ebjds (2") had white stringy poop i quickly stuck him in a 10 gallon hospital tank and treated him with jpc. I have treated him twice and i am thinking about treating again for a 3rd time tonight. He is swimming fine and kind of active but stopped eating. This morning before work i put a 1 1/2" bgjd in the tank so he would have something to dominate. right away he is dancing and showing off and bullying the bgjd. My question is how many times should i treat him? How do i know hes safe to put in the tank again? what about the tank(55 gal) with 3 more blues that he came out of? should i treat that tank or are they safe from the parisite even though one had it? i have UVs in all my tanks. Also this morning i saw one of my really little ebjds 3/4" has white poop and not as active. eating only a little. I think i will put him in the sick tank and treat him as well. :confused::cry:

I heard adding pimafix should help. Can i add that and Jungle parisite clear?

Thanks
 
Well i have treated my blues. What seems to have been a long nightmare of one fish getting sick after another i think i am almost done. I have had 6 blues get internal parities. They were seperated into 3 tanks so i believe that it was the frozen blood worms which did it. I used Jungle Parasite Clear to treat them. I did three treatments back to back with water changes in between. I raise the temp up to 90 and i used pimafix to help heal the insides. $ of them have over come and are doing great. 2 of them died. I believe that this is because they were very weak. They always showed much less vigor then the rest. During the treatment i did not feed them anything and kept the lights off most of the time. Once they did start begging for food again i took spirulina brine shrimp and thawed it out in a cup of tank water and a quarter tablet of JPC and then re froze the mix. I fed them that and they ate it no problem. They are doing well and growing now. So i think i have overcome this problem for now.

Hope this help someone who is searching. Oh and answer to my above question. I treated the tank that the sick ones came out of one with JPC then i took everything out wiped down most of the sides while doing a big water change washed off the decor, and then vacuumed the sand. I did not have any other fish get sick in that tank.
