Read the label mate, For many meds you need to use 1/2 dose for loaches

 

[roseykat5]

thats why i asked it dont say that at all on the label ....

 

[Miss Wiggle]

can you post the ingredients list from the med bottle then

If there isnt a warning on the bottle you shuld be fine, But post the ingredients non the less, Do you have anywhere else you can put them?

Sorry but i don't think that's true at all, i've seen loads of things like ich meds that say they're safe for all aquarium fish when i know that it's not safe to use the full dosage. depends on the brand if they say it i think.

general cure meds 125mg metronidazole
13mgcopper sulfate
8mg tricholrfon

and no i dont really have anywhere to put them as im treating both tanks as it was crossed containamated and both tanks have it

I think that Tricholrfon isnt great for Loaches, DO a water change and put you carbon filter in, Then re treat with something else

 

[roseykat5]

any one else .. what you think .. its already in the tank they seems fine so far full color on them and they look ok

 

[Clown loach lover]

water change. loaches are sensitive to meds and the general rule is halfa dose.

If you want to use an anti ich/whitespot med on the loaches, i would recommend "anti whitespot" by Interpet. It won't harm the filter bacteria or stain the water like that and it comes with clear intructions and warnings etc.
If the loaches are healthy though, i wouldn't medicate them. When i bought my clown loaches, i just quarentined them for 2-3weeks and they were fine, never had any ich on them or anything like that- not all clown loaches are infested with parasites. Quarentining them for a couple of weeks will be a much less stressful way to make sure they aren't carrying anything than medicating them with strong anti parasitic meds when they might not actually have anything.

i asked just cause the other fish its in with them thats why i asked with gill flukes so i treated full does anyways and they are ok the rest seems ok but one fish swimming backwards strange habit its a paradise female

I have used Sterazin with my clowns and they're fine. Full dose and no contraindications.

Gill and body flukes and general body parasites and internal worms.

Try it.

 

[WILDER]

She from the states so you won't be able to get sterazin, and to be honest that med maybe fine on a snall infestation, but no good if there infested with them, try it and it was crap.
