Thread: Costia help!

  1. #1

    Costia help!

    Just been doing a bit of topical treatment on a few fish, had some bad bacterial probs coming out of winter and treating with courses of ct.

    Last few days fish have been a bit off, but with the ct giving them a bashing and spawning on there minds not really thought much of it. They have been lethargic at times but not flashing.

    One of the 4 scapes I did was buzzing with costia, little bouncy comma things.....not ID'd it before but found them at 200x and usually only do 40 and 100 so may have missed them in past.....

    Anyway pond is 0.24 salt due to treating and helping with ct, underlying bacteria prob.

    What is the best course of treatment? Can't us m&f beciase of the salt? PP next best option?

    Thanks. Will do some sort of treatment first thing tmoz as its a bit late to watch them on the pp now. Plus want to give the ones I knocked out to treat 12 hours

    Increase salt level. 0.6% is what I got mine to and it got rid of costia.
