Hi All,
Does anyone have any personal experience in curing Cryptobia Iubilans?
I was going to try this purported cure:
http://www.labdepotinc.com/p-16659-dimetridazole.php
But would love to get a warm fuzzy about it before I drop another $100 on medication...
Just to give you some background, I've been trying to cure my 80 gallon peacock tank of "BLOAT" for the past 8 months (98% of the fish exibit symptoms of whitish/clear poo, sunken belly which eventually lead to rapid breathing/coughing then swollen belly and death) . I have tried CLOUT/JPC and Pure Metronidazole and they have done next to nothing, and then I tried some bacterial meds out of desperation (the Marycyns and also furanase) which also had no effect. This is why I feel 99.9% confident in my Cryptobia diagnosis after doing MUCH research on the subject.
I started with 30 fish and am now down to 15, and I have been religious about maintaining water parameters within optimal for Malawi... I'm fairly certain that my religous maintenance routine has been the only thing preventing 100% fatalities at this point.
Any advice or info on this subject would be much appreciated!
