Quarantin Procedures for Discus in new homes

[btlee]

Hahaha, I seldom go and see 'Uncle Lim' because each time I go there, I have to pay him some money to pave the highway.......
Hmm, why nobody want to start a discus farm somewhere mid hill.
Must have good water there.......

Cheers!

Ya Lee,

good idea....and with that temperature....maybe pack discus without oxygen...or maybe keep discus in tanks without aeration....ya?

As promised, Uncle Lim did his best to give me something to bring back...and also a desire to return for a showdown...ha!ha!ha!

Thanks guys,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Sorry I could not make it to meet up with you this time. eard you guys have great fun talking about your love hate relationship with the King.

Just a word of caution on Uncle Lim, I may not have the pleasure to know him personally, I know from numerous stories that he is not worried about your one up on him, his main concern is that u dont come often enough. yeh yeh.

it's pretty strong stuff.

yoda-have you tried using some epsom salt together with prazi? is this recommended btw?

Hi Stan,

I haven't tried the epsom salt/prazi combination. I haven't heard anyone recommend it.

It might be too strong and make the fish intestines come out

To continue on a serious note, prazi does not destroy the eggs of the worms, so a second treatment is usually advisable.

hi yoda,

thanks for the tip. prazi isn't readily available here so i've never used it.

hi andrew, bt, chong...
monday's tt was as expected insightful and reinforcing beliefs regarding disease and treatment. andrew, your ahem... beans on so and so are priceless...haha
i still think uncle lim owes me some money... not.

[Andrew Soh]

Stan, go talk to Uncle lim.....maybe he is willing to be generous...he!he!he!

Don't worry Wong, I won't go to negotiate with him that often.......it is not my habit but rather a pleasure trip.

Take care,
Andrew

hi andrew,
i think uncle lim is too kiam siap so i won't bother to ask. jusdt go and rob!

btw, so how can we get some of your secret formula? can process into neat tablets as a suggestion? the tri combo anti bacteria ahem you told us about?

[Andrew Soh]

Stan,

it is in powder form and it needs to be kept in the fridge when not in use.

It is packed in 30 gm in white container....but that would be expensive as the container's weight will make shipping cost more expensive.

I have made adjustment to the price ... as most buddies here are Malaysians and I understand the exchange rate is expensive.

Therefore, the price is S$1.30 per 1 gm of Fucin. If it is to be posted, I will pack it into Aluminium foil but you have to have air-tight containers ready to transfer them into. But if delivered by hand or carried in, I will pack it in standard containers of 30 gm.

Let me know,

Take care,
Andrew

Andrew,

Can u give us the method of use of this ??

How about overdoze ? any untoward effect ?

[Andrew Soh]

Wong,

Overdose...sure all die ha!ha!ha!

Joke aside....any antibiotic...when overdosed will have an effect on the subject. It is different from supplements which have varying yet wide range of tolerance.

As our study, this Fucin is effective against 'Melting fins'....also know as 'Split fins'... Septicemia.

The dose is 2.8 gm per 100 litre of water....and treatment should stay for 12 days. Usually, the water will foul in 4 days, so you may need to redose to strength every 4 days after WC. In other word, you will need 2.8 gm x 3 for a 12 day treatment of 100 litre of water.

AS the concoction is expensive, it is advised to treat the whole hatchery or all the discus within a premise all at the same time to prevent re-infection due to cross-contamination from untreated tanks in the future.

Dose should not exceed 3.5 gm and should not be below 2.8 gm. Within this range, it is not harmful.

Take care,
Andrew
