Paraguard dips

[idooley]

So I'm treating two of my guppies for possible velvet, as they one has a white fuzzy coating on its body and is rocking back and forth as it swims. I was wondering how often should fish be dipped? Once a day for an hour or more, once every few days? I'm not sure and I just can't lose any more guppies....

A week ago I treated my betta for what I thought might be Columnaris or fungus as I saw the white fuzzy stuff under the chin (first pic). He was a bit lethargic but eating well. I did a full course of Kanaplex and nitrofurazone antibiotics with aquarium salt and the white fuzzy stuff went away after...

Do Seachem Paraguard and Biobags from tetra work together? It has activated carbon in it and it is my main filter.

I have a male Betta that is approximately 2 years old, he started showing signs of having a tumor about 3 months after I got him. He scraped his tail on something in the tank one night and I immediately took it out and treated him with a Betta natural solution to help the fins heal, it helped for a...

Hi, I have 2 male phantom tetras and 5 females in a planted 10 gallon. Usually they get along great besides a little fin nipping, but I have recently discovered that one of the females is practically wasted away and lost much of her fins. I've quarantined her for Paraguard dips. My question now is what...

so I’ve recently been treating my betta fish with sea chem Paraguard to help his fin rot. However recently the week before I treated the tank with seachem pristine to add that extra layer of bacteria to help maintain water quality with detritus I missed. Does the paraguard harm the pristine b...

Betta w Popeye: Used Kanaplex two complete treatments. I want to follow up with Paraguard bc not fully cured yet. Or should I do another (3rd) Kanaplex treatment? It's been 4 days with 50% water change since last course of treatment. Please advise. Thank you!...

Part A. So, this tank has been up and running for several years with no problems. A school of Boraras and a school of Petruichthys sp rosy (rosy loach), both nano species. My Boraras are aging out. One had an intermittent/slight body fungus. So, I treated with Paraguard because it's mild (both the case...

Hello, I have a betta who came down with velvet when I moved him to a new tank with media from two of my other tanks. I’’ve been treating the tank with Paraguard daily since 4/29, however I’’m not seeing much improvement and can still see the parasites. Last dose was about 6 hours ago....

Hello,
I made the rookie mistake on my new tank by starting to cycle the tank with Neon Tetras , As I found out they are sensitive to cycling , After 2 weeks one of my neon tetra died, The tank is still not reading any Ammonia, Nitrite or Nitrate. Now for the past one week I have been dosing stability...

Hello, so pretty much the title sums it up. I have 8 Cory Cats, 9 Rasboras and 5 Nerites in a 29 gallon. My Corys have been showing signs of irritation since the day I brought them home (almost a month ago). This is my first go round with Corys, so pretty much I was unsure how to pinpoint the issue....

From my understanding, Costia is a parasite that can be treated with Malachite Green and Formalin per American Aquarium Products.

I don't see Costia as a type of parasite that ParaGuard can treat, and I see very little discussion about it on the...

Hello lovely people,

I am posting on behalf of my Mum. She is a complete novice when it comes to fish, she grew up with an Uncle who bred show winners but has never kept fish herself.

She started off with a small 10litre tank and two Harlequins who have always been and still...

I am using ParaGuard to treat for ich. As of today, I have been treating for 14 days. I understand that water temperature influences the parasite's life cycle and am wondering if your recommendation of 14 days holds for an aquarium temperature of 77 degrees.

Hi there,
I lost 4 fishes in just 2 weeks because of ich infection ( unfortunately, I wasn't aware of Paraguard product and used other medications which weren't useful). I started treating my main display tank last week for 7 days ( and still continuing the treatment) with Paraguard. My remaining...
