D/T undoubted residual Cryptobia chronic infection in the 210G discus tank and the introduction of a new healthy discus from NADA meeting, I will treat the current discus stock/tank with Dimetridazole to help decrease the risk of the new fish being infected. Previous introductions to this tank have resulted in 75% mortality with confirmed Cryptobia. Interestingly, the Raffelesia discus have been resistant to any signs of Cryptobia infection.
210gallons + 50 gallon sump= about 1000L
dimetridazole 80mg/L=> 80gm
This is difficult to sustain at this volume, but capturing discus in this planted tank will be difficult. I'm considering options.

Sam's discus fish showing wasting disease. I failed to QT them.
a bath treatment with dimetridazole (80 mg/L for 24 hrs,
followed by a 80-100% water change, repeated daily for 3
days); or b) a bath treatment with 2-amino-5-nitrothiazol
(10 mg/L for 24 hrs, followed by a 80-100% water change,
repeated daily for 3 days).
240 gallons=800 L
Treated
also with TCN, Rid-Ich, Melafix....the kitchen sink.
3 fish dead. New fish won't even eat live black worms.

Serra nitrate 50
JBL nitrate 40
Have not added nitrate in a week. More food and more fish are the reason.
