Euthanize or continue treating?
I have a buenos aires tetra that I have been treating for about two weeks that I need advice about whether to continue treating it or if it is more humane to euthanize it. The story: this buenos aires lived in a shoal with 8 other buenos aires tetras in their own 30 gallon tank but was always the smallest. I came in one morning to feed them and the other tetras has completely eaten all of this one’s fins and tail off (all of the bottom fins as well as the entire tail-just the flesh no bone involved). I immediately moved it to a hospital tank and have been treating it with Maracyn and Maracyn-2. It is not able to swim at all, it lays on its side (it can flip over) and recently has started having a bend to its body. I have been hand feeding it (it will eat a little brine shrimp or tubifex worms) and treating it everyday. Its tail is beginning to grow back and the bottom fins are more than 50% there but it has made no attempt to swim and the bend to the body is getting worse (at least to me).
My question: Should I continue treating this poor fish or is it more humane to euthanize it (humanely of course using clove oil and grain alcohol). Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Help! Need advice on wasting disease and wormers! My platy won’t die!?
I have a female platy named Isabel. I diagnosed her with Wasting Disease about three weeks ago. I’ve seperated her into a container in the tank that uses seperate water so she doesn’t infect the other fish. Every night I tip the container water out and fill it back up with clean water from the tank.
What I’m worried about is that she hasn’t eaten for three – maybe more – weeks. I knew fish could survive up to two weeks without food, but this is over three weeks! She looks emaciated and will spit out the baby brine shrimp I try to force-feed her with an eyedropper. Why is she still alive?
I finally found some Fish Wormer today so I’m putting that in tomorrow after I’ve changed the tank water.
What I want to know is:
1) Why is my platy still alive?
2) How did she get it? I haven’t added new fish for months!
3) Is the medication okay to give to the whole tank? Will it kill my tetras and kuhli loaches or do I need half-dosage?
Thanks. =)
On the container it doesn’t actually say to give half-dosage to tetras, fry and scaleless fish. It just says it may affect snails and corydoras species. But are corydorases scaleless fish? My kuhlis are, so won’t they be affected, too?
