posting for Zhiz22:


Hello ppl

my latest achievement, curing dropsy.

first case
female got dropsy but eat as usual
cured with new concoction

second case
white shit not eating
cured with same concoction

third case (best achievement)
full blown dropsy, including not eating
cured with new concoction after about 2 weeks (popping scale lasted 1.5 weeks)

Up to you to believe or not.

Treat with LAM HONG YELLOW POWDER (not jap yellow powder, those in bottle sold at counter, LAM HONG is a LFS in AMK) + INTERPET Anti Internal Bacteria + Salt + Epsom Salt (not crucial) +Ketapang Leaves

Dosage is yr own judgement (when you think you use too much, yeah its too much)

Roughly a 5 finger grip full of salt, plus 1/8 capful of yellow powder, 3 drops of anti internal bacteria per tau huay container

Disclaimer
If anything happen to yr fish not my fault! This is what i have learned and known. Just hoping to save more betta, especailly your precious ones.

Claimer: If cured, treat me to kopi or buy fish from me at my next open house, hehe. Or at least you can post here and let me know

Sera

costa®med

For disinfection of the aquarium water, e.g. when introducing new fish, and for disease treatment against ectoparasites (Ichthyophthirius, Costia and Chilodonella). For freshwater and saltwater fish. Add 2 drops per each 10 liotres of water once for prevention. Add 6 drops per each 10 litres of water for treatmenbt, repeat after three days if necessary.

costapur

The well-established remedy against Ichthyophthirius (white spot) and other skin parasites, such as Costia, Chilodonella and Trichodina, in fresh and saltwater aquariums. sera costapur reliably combats and removes the parasites.

mycopur

Remedy against fungus (Saprolegnia) and skin and gill flukes in fresh water aquariums. sera mycopur prevents spawn fungus. Simultaneous addition of sera ectopur increases the efficacy and leads to a quicker recovery of the fish. After recovery of the fish, we recommend a partial water change (conditioning with sera aqutan) and filtering with sera Super Activ filter carbon in order to remove remedy residuals from the aquarium water.

ectopur

For prevention and combat of fungus and ectoparasites in fresh and salt water. sera ectopur contains various oxygen-releasing salts. Due to its special composition the oxygen is released over a prolonged period of time. sera ectopur is ideally suitable to support a treatment with sera remedies.
An addition of 5 g sera ectopur to 50 litres of water once every fortnight reduces stress and prevents oxygen deficiencies

Oodinopur A

sera Oodinopur A reliably combats fresh and salt water Oodinium (velvet disease). It contains copper and must therefore not be used in saltwater aquariums with invertebrates. We recommend treating the fish in a quarantine aquarium. 15 ml sera Oodinopur A are sufficient for 600 litres of water. During the treatment with sera Oodinopur A, active carbon must be removed from the filter. Protein skimmers and ozonizers must be switched off. After recovery of the fish, we recommend a partial water change (conditioning with sera aqutan.

baktopur

sera baktopur reliably combats bacterial diseases such as mouth and fin rot and greyish-white resp. fluff-like areas on the skin and the fins of freshwater fish. sera ectopur increases the activity of sera baktopur

baktopur direct

sera baktopur direct reliably and rapidly combats severe bacterial diseases such as dropsy or bleeding inflammations resp. ulcers in fresh and salt water fish.
Please bear in mind: This highly effective remedy also affects useful filter bacteria. Therefore, the filter should be disconnected from the aquarium and run with a bucket of water for the duration of the treatment. One tablet is sufficient for 50 litres of aquarium water.

activant

Combination of vitamins and trace elements for fresh and salt water aquariums in order to enhance the colours and improve the well-being of the fish. sera activant promotes the readiness to spawn, prevents deficiencies and helps newly introduced fish become acclimatized. Weak or ill pond fish are directly fed a tablet sera activant.

fishtamin

Emulgated multi-vitamin preparation for strengthening fish during or after diseases, after introducing them into a new aquarium, for breeding and to vitaminize food for fish fry. sera fishtamin is also suitable for strengthening pond fish before and after hibernation. It can be added directly into the aquarium water. It is better, however, to drip 6 - 7 drops per fish directly onto the food a few minutes before feeding once a week. Pond fish should get 10 - 12 drops sera fishtamin per fish every day for three weeks

snailpur

Water treatment against snails, Hydra and discworms in freshwater aquariums. Two hours after application a partial water change of 30 % is be carried out. By doing so, suck the paralysed snails out of the aquarium. After this removal, the remaining water is conditioned with a full dose (calculated to the total content of the aquarium) sera aqutan and filled with fresh water. The treatment is to be repeated after one week and after two weeks in order also to remove hatching young snails (spawn is not combated). It is important to observe the fish closely during the treatment. Accelerated breathing and gasping for air is a symptom for overdosing. In this case, a water change must be carried out immediately.

algopur

Water treatment against algae in freshwater aquariums. Due to their solid structure, beard algae may seem unaffected for several weeks after they are dead before they dissolve.
Attention: Snails do not tolerate sera algopur.
15 ml are sufficient for 600 litres of water.
In severe cases, repeat the treatment after three days.

Waterlife

CUPRAZIN (Protozoacide/Fungicide) :
For the treatment of Whitespot, Costia and other Fungal infections in seawater aquaria only. Do not use in aquaria containing invertebrates, macro algae, Sharks, Rays, or Harlequin Tuskfish.
Whitespot, Oodinium, Benedenia, Trichodina and fungal infections are amongst the fastest killing organisms and therefore, once recognised should be treated immediately. With this in mind you are advised, when unsure of an ailment's diagnostic background to automatically use CUPRAZIN as directed. CUPRAZIN'S formula is designed to be low stress-inducing, gradually increasing concentration to effective levels. Once this level is achieved addition of the product may be stopped. CUPRAZIN should be used to treat all newly purchased sea fishes except sharks, rays, Harlequin Tuskfish, invertebrates and other related species. In cases where these creatures are present use MYXAZIN or OCTOZIN as an alternative. CUPRAZIN should not be used in those systems which contain any invertebrates. This includes crustaceans.
Suitable for seawater and brackish water aquaria.

MYXAZIN (bactericide):
A treatment for Ulcers, Fin-Rot, Body Rot and other bacterial related diseases in all aquaria
MYXAZIN lowers the count of harmful bacteria in aquarium water, treating Fin Rot, Body Rot, Ulcers, Sores and other bacterial infections. MYXAZIN will also help to control Pop - Eye Disease, Cloudy Eyes and Mouth Fungus. MYXAZIN should be used daily until symptoms disappear (typically this would be between 3 and 5 applications). MYXAZIN can also be used to sterilise nets and live foods such as Daphnia and Tubifex, for treating Whitespot in seawater aquaria containing invertebrates. MYXAZIN is mild on fish, highly biodegradable and effective against a wide range of fish health problems. Suitable for seawater, tropical freshwater and coldwater aquaria.

OCTOZIN (Flagellated Protozoa) :
For the treatment of "Hole-in the-Head", Spironucleus, Dropsy, Malawi Bloat, Sleeping Sickness and Whitespot in all aquaria. OCTOZIN is a treatment for internal parasites such as those which cause Sleeping Sickness, Hole - In - The - Head, Seawater Angelfish and Clownfish Disease, Malawi Bloat Disease and also early stages of Dropsy. OCTOZIN may also be used to treat Whitespot in seawater aquaria where CUPRAZIN cannot be used. OCTOZIN is harmless to invertebrates and algae when used as directed. You will require three separate days of treatment to complete the course. OCTOZIN is active for up to 3 days after the last day of use. Although internal parasites are destroyed instantly, external signs of improvement to the fish may take up to 7 days.

PARAGON (General Tonic)
For use in seawater, freshwater and coldwater aquaria. The product slowly releases oxygen in safe amounts destroying any pathogens and parasites present and beneficially raises the REDOX level in the systems, improves inhabitants health and the filtration efficiency
When added to aquarium/pond water, PARAGON slowly releases nascent, moatomic oxygen in safe amounts. After this rare form of oxygen has destroyed any pathogens and parasites present it beneficially raises the REDOX potential (oxygen levels) in the aquarium. This in turn benefits all forms of aquatic life. Do not use PARAGON on Discus species

PROTOZIN (Protozoacide/Fungicide)
For the treatment of Whitespot, Fungus, Velvet and Costia in tropical freshwater and coldwater aquaria only. Do not use when mormyrids (i.e. Elephant Nose, Dolphin Fish), Sturgeon and Sterlets are present. PROTOZIN is used for the control of all protozoan and fungal infections e.g Whitespot, Fungus, Neon Tetra Disease, Velvet, Costiasis and Trichodiniasis. You will require 4 separate applications to complete the course of treatment. By gently increasing the treatment concentration over days 1, 2 and 3 the product does not burden the already stressed animals with a hard hitting formula. The final dose on day 6 is a preventative measure to try and ensure the organism does not re-occur. PROTOZIN's properties are highly effective at treating all its target organisms. Do not use when rays or momyrids are present.

STERAZIN (parasiticide)
For the treatment of Gill and Body Flukes. Do not use when crustaceans (i.e. Crabs, Shrimps), echinoderms (i.e. Sea Urchins, Starfish), s/w Sharks, Rays, Piranha, Sturgeon and Sterlets are present. STERAZIN is used or the control of gill and body parasites which cause fish to flick when no symptoms are visible to the unaided eye. STERAZIN will also aid the control of internal parasites such as Round Worm, Thread Worm, and Intestinal Worm. In order to destroy the parasites in all stages of their life cycle you will need to use the product on days 1, 3, 6, 8 and 10. STERAZIN may also be used to aid the sterilisation of aquatic plants and is highly biodegradable. Do not use when crustaceans, echinoderms, rays, seawater sharks, pirahna, sturgeon or sterlets and related species are present. In these instances use Waterlife PARAGON. Suitable for seawater, tropical freshwater and coldwater aquaria
