Humblefish's quarantine protocol and BRS video on quarantining for Brook & Uronema have rather conflicting advice about prophylactic treatments for brook/uronema. In summary:
Unfeasible options:
#fishmedics, I realise I'm ruling out 3 options, but I'd like to check with you that I've considered all possible options.
BRS video | Humblefish | |
---|---|---|
Food-soaking with metro | Second best option in quarantine | No (symptomatic infections only) |
Dosing metro in QT | No | Yes |
Formalin dips | Best option in quarantine | No (symptomatic infections only) |
Chloroquine Phosphate | Is an option | Yes |
Unfeasible options:
- @Jay Hemdal told me food-soaking can't be done easily. Since I'd be medicating prophylactically, I wouldn't really be able to tell if it's working.
- Formalin dips are difficult to do safely, especially in a two-room apartment (I'm talking about MY safety).
- I got a prescription for chloroquine phosphate - pharmacy says CP by Bayer has been discontinued in 2019, and they can't get the raw CP for an officinal preparation. Apparently, we can thank COVID for that too.
#fishmedics, I realise I'm ruling out 3 options, but I'd like to check with you that I've considered all possible options.
- Is it possible to treat prophylactically for Brook/Uronema without food-soaking, formalin dips, or chloroquine phosphate?
- Or am I asking for the moon?
- Will dosing Metro in the QT do much against potential Brook/uronema infection?
- I'm planning to get a bunch of chromis for my 90G. What would you do if you were me?
