treatment for gars? PLEASE READ

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I found this to be helpful to me and will help you guys also.
If dipping is not feasible, freshwater fish may be placed in a brackish water (i.e., 1 percent salt) solution for 30 minutes up to several hours. This procedure produces the same effects as a saltwater dip; that is, it removes external parasites (protozoa) and enhances mucus production. It also benefits fish recovering from skin wounds.

This should solve your problems :)

P.S. Use "Conversions" hyperlink, at top of page, to find out how much salt you need for you tank to have 1% salt.

Why do you think your fish have this? What are the symptoms showing on the fish? Pics help...

In order to get an accurate treatment, you need to be more clear about what is going on with the fish. It really is of bad order also to recommend a treatment for something unless it is clear you know what that treatment is for. Details are lacking here to really ID your problem as a Protozoan issue. These symptoms also indicate other issues, Often just with water quality...
 
my smallest gar has a really cloudy left eye, and two of my bichirs have had it for awile now (ive been using the whole salt, raised temp and WC treatment with no improvement) and now, my newly bought NTT datnoid has really cloudy eyes (both eyes) and now im just stumped on what is happening.
 
what are your parameters?
