Cipro on its way

[M Woodhill]

Well after feeding my mag with some mysis few day ago it went down fast. I reaquascaped and it seems to be improving. This evening it started to blow out chunks of chunks of undigested mysis. So actions need to be taken. Ordered cipro online and will buy a golden fish tank for ht tomorrow

Roger that!

Just a shoutout feeding mag is really a high risk. I've ditched my T5 and am waiting for my Hamilton Cebu. Will stop target feeding anymore

I also required a pink tip bta. pictures to come soon

Just out of curiosity, did your mag start to decline after you added in the BTA?

Nope way before that. It expelled chunks of bad mysis patties out of its huge swollen mouth. Stay acceptably inflated though.

The wave was too strong to beat him to death. Adjusted and it now seems to be recovering. Cipro supposedly arrives in the middle of next week

Before my cipro comes, the mag is doing now really bad. Gotta check some local fish store to get the medicine asap :-(

Well I failed to find fish flox but get some seachem antibiotic similar with cipro. Am bout to start treating with it and see how it goes

Definitely report back! IIRC, seachem doesn't sell any quinolone antibiotics ( like cipro) so you could be charting some new territory.

I feed my mag all the time. It is feeding bad food that is the problem. Anemone feed according to chemical cue. Without a brain, they cannot tell if the food is spoiled, like a fish can. Fish will spit out bad food, but if what stick to an anemone tentacles have certainly chemical, they will eat it, bad or not.

It's sulfathiazole. the label says it kills many bacteria, fungus and pathogens. So I picked it up. My Cipro will be coming in the middle of the week and I'm afraid without any treatment, it would become a mess at the arrival of the cipro

Day 3 Update:

the mag reacted fine to Sufathiazole. I'm sorry I didn't shoot any pictures because it's so big a job to prepare fresh saltwater, change water and add antibiotics and bleach the disposed water ;-) Now I'm like going double gym in the evening.

my biggest concern: the cut by its mouth heals--best news so far and I'll take some pictures of the scar. I don't know how it came but I should've taken an immediate action. It didn't heal by itself for like 5 days and then it went down very fast. now the cut heals and its size triples and reacts to light change. these are good signs.

the bad sign: the mouth is still loose--this is the worst version. IMO a mag's mouth can be swollen big, gaping but if it goes loose, it's really sick.

Was the anemone in an inflate/deflate cycle? Did the thiazole effect it?

It was and now the cycle seems to stop. It was basically a dry tennis ball and now it's like a blown up basket ball.

the biggest improvement is its mouth. My cipro comes this Friday. I'll save it against a rainy day

 

[M Woodhill]

well, it's back in dt for 3 days and seems like its doing well so far

the cut scar right at its mouth. I don't know where the cut came from

at its worst time, it shrank into a tennis ball size and totally dried up but now it expands into a volleyball size ;-)

10K washes off its color a bit. but seems like everything in my tank likes the lighting way better. T5 is great but I sure have yet to learn more about it

will siphon all the sediment out this weekend. cyano like 10k lighting too. fts so you guys can see how big it now is

 

[M Woodhill]

so when your mag reacts badly to cipro next time, you can try seachem sulfathiazole. everything is the same as using cipro and my dosage was 6 teaspoons at the first and then 5. i changed almost tankful of water, siphoning everything out

Very nice anemone
