Jatt16 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Iv used Kusuri on my Bristlenose and Discus and nothings gone wrong but it may kill of snails if you have any. Its totslly safe for all tropical fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hi guys Is this stuff realy good on flukes in discus? And is it safe in planted tanks or is it like many other qures for flukes and it kills everything in the tank and even the biological filter? Sorry if i'm going off topic Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumzy50 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Do you have to get this on prescription.It would be nice if we can get medication for our fish,with out the cost of vets consultation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicmack Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 great glad to know someone has used it before - do you think it may hurt clown loaches, that is my concern...and it safe not harsh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicmack Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 oh and when you used the kusuri did you add it to the tank slowly over a 1 hour period? is that totally necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatt16 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hi Yeah its necessary to pour it in over one hor period because the powder is dissolved in boiling water and if u suddenly put thewhole cup ful, this will be a big shock to the fish. I aave contacted the wholesaler in the UK and he has said it is totally safe and is tested many times on his discus. The wholesaler owns a discus breeding company in the uk , he sent me some to Auckland but MaF quarintined it and i sent it back to get a refund, the wholesaler is a nice guy. the guy which i bought Kusuri from is in Rotorua and suprisingly he gets his shipment without it being quarintied. If some one wanted to the can register the product wih MAF and retaail it here in Nz but it is a big hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
