I have two Oscars one Albino and one Tiger very pretty and have a lot
of attitude but here lately mostly the tiger oscar but very little in
the albino they have white spots and looks like craters on their
heads. I was up doing some research because no one ever seems to know
what to do at like petsmart, but anyway I think they call it HITH and
Ich. My questions to you are if I give them this Flagyl or
Metrnidazole and or that ich medicine will my fish continue to live or
will they die a horrible ichy death? Now I know this is crazy but I
have the two Oscars and I also have two Pacu's all are a decent fry
pan size but they are in a 55 gallon tank and yes I know they need
their own tank but the other 55 gallon tank I had broke and tanks are
not cheap; my question is is their living quarters what is making them
sick other than the fact that my husband is on the road and he has not
had time to clean nor has had time to show me how to clean the tank?
because although I havent cleaned the tank they have a good filtration
system and I medicate the tank with stress coat and macryn two pills
just to make sure they are okay because they love their feeder fish?
Please help me I dont want them to die.
