10 gallon=38L
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).
Emetryl=40% dimetridazole
Need 3040mg for 38L
.4X=3040mg
X=7600mg Emetryl
Also added 2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole 380mg for 38L

2015-9-11 another sick discus
Golden Melon stopped eating about 2 weeks ago. In QT 10 gallons(38L).
Started Mardel Clout (active ingredients in Clout are 190mg/tab of Metronidazole and 7.8mg/tab of Trichlorfon) yesterday
With
2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole 380mg yesterday and dropped pH to 4.0 for antibacterial effect.
I think I waited too long. He doesn't look good.
Will do this for 3 days with 80% WC each day.

2015-5-18 underdosed dimetridazole
Just realized I underdosed dimetridazole bc of math error.
151L x 80mg/L=12000mg=12gm
But powder is only 40% dimetridazole therefore need 30gm of powder to get 12gm active ingredient.
So I'm trying again today.
BTW, very difficult to get isometamidium or almiramide.
Ordered, 2-amino-5-nitrothiazol.

Both discus in hospital tank are eating. The blue discus is a bit darker than normal but otherwise they look well, though still too thin.
Stool sample from blue discus today is clear of cryptobia. Finished 9 days of dimetridazole 100mg/L dosed daily with 90% water changes.
pH 4.0
temp 90.

Hosp Tank
Fish still eating well. Dosed metronidazole (70%) powder at 3gm AM am PM for 7 days on advice from the discus importer from whom I bought the fish. Also per his recommendation raised temp to 92F.
Fish tolerated it well but stool sample from ARSG still showed cryptobia last night. Attempted pic with phone with marginal success.
Will switch to Emtryl (dimetridazole 40%) powder. 400mg in 40 gallons test dose this am was tolerated well.
In the video the cryptobia are not well focused. They swim fast and are the larger objects that periodically swim through the field of view at 8 sec and 51 sec marks.
Compare a better you tube showing the same organism:

Per http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/vm077
"a bath treatment with dimetridazole (80 mg/L for 24 hrs, followed by a 80-100% water change, repeated daily for 3 days);"
So 40 gallons would be 151 liters. Therefore I will dose 6gm q 12 hours.

Green spot algae and crypts melting!
Haven't dosed phosphate or nitrate bc of readings with test tube. This was a mistake. Will cut crypts way back and dose.
Probably also need to clean the filter.
PO4 1 ppm
NO3 80 ppm...too high.
Looks like phosphate is not high enough or perhaps its a combo problem of inadequate phosphate, K+, or low CO2 or dirty filter.
