BigGee168 Enthusiast Posts: 245 Kudos: 209 Votes: 42 Registered: 18-Jan-2004	Hi all, I was wondering if a fish can be dosed with med for longer than the perscribed time from the med? My angelfish has quite bad fin rot due to fighting and he's takin more than 3 days and it has only 'reparied' slightly. Should i cont med or change med(will it shock him if i use a different med again?) Thx Gee Gee !!I think I just learned somthing new!!

Follow the directions for additional treatmetns (usually a water change is required) Switching meds in mid treatment isnt' normally the best idea (IMO) so if you're seeing improvemnt you may want to continue treating with the one you have been. As always keep a close eye on your water parameters . ^_^ Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link][/font]

Stopping half healed, would be like us take an antibiotic for a day or two, then quitting...we won't get better, and neither will the fish...Read the directions about water changes, and like Babel said watch your water parameters...Heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."
