Need help (Victorville CA Area)

[james-lee]

Anyone in the general area have any Methylene Blue I can have a small amount of? I want to try and do a dip on my trigger as he has something but not sure what. Cant find a local store that carries it and if I order online it will take 2-3 days to get it and I dont think this trigger has that much time. Thanks in advance. PM if you git some.

Sucks about your trigger . He's still hiding in your rocks?

No he is here now. I wanna catch him and treat him since I think he is in desperation of wanting help. My tang seems to be doing guard duty keeping the nosey fishes at bay and leaving him alone.

Well if no one has it I will have to try a freshwater dip or kordions rid ich and some antibiotics.

Does it look like ich to you? Did you research what are the common fish diseases/parasites known for trigger fishes? I really hope your lil guy makes a full recovery!

Just did the first of two freshwater dips. Seems to have woke him up haha! Gonna do the second and last one in about 10 minutes.

Okay finished the dip a while ago. He tolerated up to 10 minutes and i didnt wanna chance it any longer than that. I dripped him into the QT with SG of 1.012. Gonna try the hypo salinity treatment coupled with the kordon ich+ dosing. He is in the back of the tank hiding but he is MUCH more active now. Will try to feed mysis tomorrow.
