My journey using Chloroquine Phosphate begins...

You can use a small cfl not full spectrum lighting

How did this work out for you, did your hippo make it through treatment? Did you add any LR to your QT?
Thanks

*sorry, saw the last couple of post dates from a couple of months ago, didnt realize this was a dormant thread.

This is a relevant thread so reviving it is a good thing.

Bumping this up. Started qt last week. Two spot tang, scribbled rabbit fish, yellow flank and lubbocks wrasses and a pair of yellow watchman gobbies. Dosed 40mg/l. Fish showed no signs of ich at lfs but I know the tanks they came from may have it.

Dosed my tank with Ich Shield Powder last night. Wish me luck!

Fish have been in qt for a week, read that cp can act as a appetite suppressant. I add drops of garlic before feeding. No issues so far

IME it doesn't suppress appetite.

40 mg / L or about 150 mg / gallon? I read the highest is about 96 mg / gallon and thats for uronema.

40mg/gal (10mg/L) is the standard dosage. You can go a little higher, but I would not exceed 80mg/gal (20mg/L).

Typo on my part. I'm dosing the standard amount

Day 14 no signs of ich. Tank glass getting yellow film on it

Isn't the half life about 10 days though?

The film hasn't gone away the water still a bit yellow. Noticed it a few days ago

Has anyone used CP on a Fowleri? I have used CP on a a lot of other tangs but not a fowleri. Just want to make sure they don't react like a hippo does

 

[ReefTeacher]

FWIW, I have a hippo tang in CP going on 2 weeks now. He is clear of crypt and looks fine; eating well too!

That's awesome to hear! The Fowleri is eating and not hiding so I am taking that as CP is fine with them

 

[Mr. Brooks]

Is there a consensus on new life spectrum ich shield? Is it as effective as pharmaceutical grade chloroquine phosphate? Would like to avoid the trip to the vet if possible.

I have never used pharmaceutical grade CP, only NLS Ich shield. Haven't had any issues

Just curious... anyone ever mix CP & NFG powder? For dealing with a secondary bacterial infection while already treating for velvet.

Thanks for the reply.

FWIW; I have successfully combined Kanaplex, Furan-2, API General Cure (powder praziquantel & metronidazole) with CP. Sometimes all together with no issues. :thumbsup: The only time I did have an issue (bacterial bloom) is when combining liquid Prazipro with CP. :facepalm:
