MY 2 cichlids have mouth rot fin rot and tail rot?

Question

I have just noticed it this morning its not really bad but enough to worry about especially as they are 3 years old and have never been ill.

I have two makes of medication,.Mela-fix and pimafix,

I believe i should be using pimafix instead of melafix but could any one else tell me which is the right one to use,

I have already used melafix this morning as i was not sure which one to use

Answer 1

Ok firstly you don't want to start adding more than one medicine at a time as it is harmful to the fish as both probably do the same thing and buy putting the two in it will be an over dose.

I just looked on the internet and they they both do the same thing  here is the site i looked on:  http://www.atlantisaquatics.co.uk/acatal...

The medicine will need at least a day or two to  take effect so just keep an eye on the fish, i would advise that once illnesses have cleared, do a 25-50% water change as the bacteria will probably still be in the tank.

make sure they are eating well as this will help them fight of the rot.

hope this helps
