how long after starting cipro should you see improvement?

[Tango451]

My haddoni has been in ht for 3 days now with cipro. This afternoon after I did a water change after getting new cipro (been using old pills for the first two days)(I do water changes ever night also) he looked better than he ever has - finally almost closed his inverted bubble mouth . Later/ tonight he is looks like he did always - mouth not fully shut. Should I be expecting to see better results sooner or is this normal? (Also, I do not believe he has deflated once since put in ht)

Also, is there a recommended temperature that is best while treating with cipro? And is it ok if temperature slowly fluctuates +/- 3 degrees throughout the day and night?

I have no idea if this pertains between haddoni and gigantean, but if it isn't expelling black stuff and isn't deflating, maybe just QT and give good water parameters. As far as temp, maybe someone will help out here. Gigs are higher that everything else it seems.

Keep up the treatment and go the full treatment period. Continue with your water changes and dosing. After the round of treatment is done, I recommend keeping it in the treatment tank another 2-3 days (continue with water changes). Do you have any pictures to go along with what you're describing?

I would treat him for 7 days. Why 7 days? That is often the shortest duration of treatment we use in human, and I had good result with this in treating my anemone. In other word, there is no real reason except that how I started to do it and get good result with it.
