Thanks a lot.

Fred.

Tis is my formula for salt: 1 teaspoon salt per gallon water == 0.1%.

For short ~30min bath i use 0.6%.
For hospital tank i use 0.3%.

Happy salting

CR,

If things are not improving. I recommend to opt for medication + salt. A very useful formula. Do you know where to get those Elubashyu? (Eh-Loo-Bah-Shiu) and widely known as Japanese Yellow podwer. comes in 5gram per pack and only cost you a few bucks each packet.

Formula:

- Water Change Everyday.
- 2.5 gram of Elubashyu per 100L of water
- 0.6% salinity (0.6% salt)
- Stop feeding completely.
- Treatment up to 7 -10 days even if you see their breathing back to normal
- back to 0.5% salinity water after treatment for a week.
- When you re-start your feeding. start from very little food and slowly increase day by day and back to normal diet on the 10th day. (about 2-3 times of water change)

Hope this will improve things.

Cheers.

Dear All,

From my recent observation, i found my tvr sometime float & its back is expose at water surface. This happen started day 4 after WC. It seem not like swim bladder problem as the fish can easily siwm to bottom. I also observed some poo float at water surface and can found small air bulble.

My 1st guess maybe due to too much pellet feeding. Then i reduce pellet feeding from 3 time to 2 times.

However, i still found some poo with air bulble and less fish floating or reduce frequency of floating.

Another theory said this situation cause my bad bateria at water surface. At our warm/hot environment, the water surface tend to have bad bateria. This bad bateria will cause digestion problem to the fish and generate air and result fish tend to float.

Solution is implement overflow to the tub, add some water and let the surface water overflow out of the tub. In addition, feed fish with spirulina food.

Guy, any comment ?

Regards

eu,

On the safe side, during your next water change. introduce 0.5% salinity to the water and starve them for 2-3 days and re-start feeding with small amount. After another water change, all routine back to normal. See if it still happens.

My fish had this before and I didn't do anything and yet nothing happens. Donno why....

Hope to hear more from others...

thanks

Hi Yeemiau,

I had bad experience with Japanese Yellow Powder, so I try to avoid repeating the same mistake.
This time I used medication Azoo Magic Treater (for goldfish) + salt. No feeding for a week, so far they've recovered.

This morning I tried to check gills on each of them...it seems okey, no white thing on their gills. They r very active and start eating.
I realy hope they r fully recovered.

For coming raya break, I plan to leave them without feeding, but a bit of carpet algae and green water. I'll be away for a week.

Will start boosting them up after the break.

Comment and advice are most welcome.

Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin to all members.
Pls send my regards to Mr Vincent.

Thanks,

Yeemiau,

I tried to do overflow for my tub. 10L new water added each day using dripping system. After 1 week, i oberved tvr less floating and water have nice green color. During water change, i also found less amonia smell.

I guess problem come from bad water quality due to heavy feeding. For past few weeks, i got more carpet algea (dark geen color) instead of green water. Maybe this is an indication of water condition.

My question is will new water introduced will have impact to fish ? good or bad ? What is the best timing to add water ? morning, afternoon or evening ?I presume new water will make the fish have better appetite.

Welcome all to comment this issue.

Regards
eu

Hi to all,

"SELAMAT HARI RAYA" to all those who were fasting in Ramadhan.
My TVR are all okey and very healthy, same as my other collection.

To start with, I'm feeding them pellet (Hikari Spirulina). So far they're taking it ok.

Will send photos soon after my camera is ok, now in repair.

Cheers,

Hi to all,

It seems that this forum had been very quite, where have all our regular members gone hiding? What happen to other 2007 TVR keepers, any update?

Just arrive home just now...snap some photos while moving them to temporary tank. As promised here are some fresh photos of my tosai.

Comment are most welcome.

Yeemiau & NaganoLiewKun,
What is the freeding program now?

Cheers
