For Randell; Petrochromis Macrognathus "Zambia"

[myjohnson]

Update: I'm sure these petros got blout. Seen stringy white poo Monday.

Still hitting with Metro daily.

Seen a lot of improvement today.

Some are eating the shrimp mix, some eating flakes, some eating nori. Looks like I got one still not eating anything.

Colony still looks funny. They are not as active as I would like. I'll keep metro treatments up until 10 days and see what to do next if anything.

[newb]

anybody checked out yet???

[myjohnson]

Nope, all still alive.

I think it's cause I started hitting them early.

Thinking about upping the dosage.

Best of luck...I still think you should be dosing CLOUT

It has been my opinion for many man years, that unless you catch it before any die, then Metro is fine to cure it.

BUT...once you loose a fish, or fish go a couple days and no eating, there is nothing that works better than CLOUT.

[cichlid1409]

they all eating yet thai?

[myjohnson]

I do agree cout is better than metro.

I also think it's stronger. So strong that it can kill weak fish.

After Randell hit his macro greens with clout they starting fall out.

These fish are from the same group.

This is one of the reasons why I decided to treat with metro instead of clout.

I have 1000 count ready if I feel the fish need it.

[geoff_tropheus]

I personally have never lost fish to CLOUT, except silver sided featherfins, and sand dwellers.

His fish may have already been too late to save

[myjohnson]

they all eating yet thai?

Still got one not eating.

Saw it taking in a little bit of nori but didn't go after it very aggressively.

I'm picking up some hair algae saturday so hopefully she will take to that. if she does I'll mix some nori or flakes in there for her.

I never lost a tropheus when using metro.

I did lost one tropheus after using clout.

But I think this fish had dropsy. Removed her from the main tank and treated her in a holding tank.

After 5 days the old girl couldn't hold on any longer.

[myjohnson]

Update: metro treatment still on long. Looks like 8 are now taking flakes!

[newb]

thats good news man. Im praying for those fish...seriously.

[madugo]

hey thai....
when bloat...
do the fish not eatting first...or they have white string poop first?
cuz i see like 1 or 2 of my ikola with kinda white poop hanging...its like a part of it is normal and a part of it is a little white...
they all eat really good tho....and i dont see any fish trying to hiding in the corner or acting weird...
i hit some metro and some epson salt just in case...

[myjohnson]

thats good news man. Im praying for those fish...seriously.

Me too man.

Not out the dark yet. I saw some white stringy poo still coming from a 6'' female.

Hope she makes it. I rather lose a small one than a big one.

[newb]

hope you lose none...Im considering that beat up female as an investment; seeing how that started this drive for the macro greens.
