matthewY Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have a neon tetra with a cloady eye. Hes actually the alst neon in the tank and I'l looking at issolating and treating. Google indicates that you can use an antibiotic and methions Penicillin. ANyoen sued this or similar? what dopase rate would you use?

phoenix44 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Furan, and any other broad spectrum antibiotic will be good. minimum treating period should be about 10 days. (PS - hows those plants growing?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewY Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Plants are good, they do grow like crazzy, I've been trimming them quite heavely recently and moving some to different tanks :-) The more fancy ones didnt live :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 IMO Furan would be a waste of money for one tetra thats worth $2, but not only the price, the fact that its the only one, and they need schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewY Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Somewhat agree but cant bring myself to kill it just for that reason of it being cheap... I have furan-2 and will attempt treatment with that. It used to school with the cardinals but is looking very skinney and bad eyes. I cant tell if its blind or if its just infection of the eyes. If treatment doesnt work, I'll put it down :-( it cant seem to find the food and cant compete in its current state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 just feed it to another fish... honestly furan is really expensive, and i wouldn't treat just 1 neon with it. .. not unless i had named that neon that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewY Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 ha, I named him after he was the last neon :-) Yeah furan isnt cheap but I had a pack left over and un opened, i'm sure if I dont use them they will expire. def want to give the guy a fighting chance, hes been fighting by himself for the last month or so and if I can help, I should :-) I'll post as to how it goes in a week. The guy does look really skinny.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
