Metro Dipping

[jer77]

I have many different brands of medications with metronidazole. I want to treat internal parasites and HTH in my angel and tang. I decided to use the Metro+ by dipping the fish in a bath.

Few questions here:
1. How long should the bath last?
2. Do I have to dip them everyday for 5-7 days?
3. What about water changes? (It seems like the dip and tank directions are mixed together)
4. Finally, is it not ok to treat them for an internal parasite by dipping, while also treating them for ich with copper in a hospital tank?

I really would wait until the ich is gone to treat something else, but the ich has come back 3 times after it disappeared and the other problems are getting worse especially for the angel which never really got the ich but was in the same tank... ya my fish and I have had some bad luck recently.

i would qt them until their condition starts to look better , im currently QT'ing a coral beauty due to ich syntoms . i would also treat the display tank also, sounds like the ich is in your sandbed and that takes a while to rid yourself of it. i believe that it's 1.5 months of medication before they are gone .because they start life in the sandbed.pm me if you want the medications that i use , because im at work right now. hope this helps.
