Use Ciprofloxacin to Save Your Ricordea Garden! (Yuma Bacterial Infections)

[KindCorals]

Good to hear they're doing well! Let us know if you use the Cipro again, and what the results are. As you know, I started out skeptical, but only because I'm highly cautious generally about new treatments/techniques. But if this far out things are still good, I might be encouraged to try this. I've really avoided buying and even looking at yumas because if how much I've sunk into yumas in the past. But I'm going to keep an eye out now.

Good job!

I would love to buy more and try this on one that is sliming up from an infection but I will probably be trying to sell my collection soon as Im planning on moving back to Cali! Its tough because Ive seen a couple really bright yuma for sale recently but not worth if it I will be moving soon. I hope you find some nice healthy yuma to buy. I wish I could bring these back with me but they have very strict import/export laws here.

I forgot to add but that the 2 tiny pink pups are still alive and one is finally showing several pink 'bubbles.' The other is sort of stuck in a crevice and not really growing in size.

Would Furan2 work as well as they both have same properties of combating gram negative and gram positive bacteria? Furan2 is commonly used by Zoanthid keepers to battle Zoa Pox.

good to know, I got an RX for cipro for a suspect infection. turned out not to be an infection so I'm left with 13 days worth of pills. guess I'll keep it for this reason.

I've read of others using this without success

If you have an affected yuma would this impact the rest of your mushrooms that are not yuma but example rhoadactis and other types?

Great write up. Those yumas all cost us a pretty penny.

I've tried melafix marine with a sick at Thomas and it bounced back. This is very interesting
