What disease are you treating? That determines the dosage.
Up late last night doing the treatments . I did 28drops to gallon on the clown and green chromis. Lost the chromis . Dipped them separately. Using same bath should have done with fresh conc mix . Over time the color dissipates . Clown is ok right now but plan on dipping him again for 50 min later today I did put 2 drops quick cure to the gallon in receiving tank . He looks better. I assume brooklynella. Can't rule out ich nor velvet either. Will pick up metronidazole too. I hope that it might work on brooklynella too. . I also put chloroquine in last night at20mg/ liter . The two flame Angels also in same qt tank. I got all of them within the last three days. They were scheduled to be transf today as part of TTM . Within one night chromis and clown started to look weird. If I didn't act fast enough I would be looking at both dead fish . The Angels I used 35 drops to gallon of quick cure in a dip for 1.5 hours and look ok . They never looked bad but started the treatment regardless. I have them in separate HT with chloroquine at 20 mg/liter . My mistake was I have two batches of chloroquine. I looked at expiration date and saw 2014. I re dosed in receiving tank with newer CP batch . That mistake may have cost me the chromis.
Well caught early that quick cure worked at that conc .on the clown. Learned a lesson. Do the dip as soon as possible before they get in the tank. If I waited for tank transfer. They would have been dead. I had done the FW Dip as soon as I brought them home thinking that was enough. I think I will do formalin dip first straight out of bag before they go into qt tank on my next acquisitions Do the FW dips later since that seems more. Stressful. But will add the chloroquine at the lower dose between 10mg/l and 15mg/l . I dosed this time at 20mg/l because of active disease rather than prophylaxis . Hope this helps someone's future purchases. lesson learned throw away expired meds. Have all meds on hand because waiting for it in mail is just to late. Theses illnesses are quick killers .
