Choroquin Phosphate (sp?)
Hello:
I recently had a outbreak in my fishtank of some sort of bateria (which I cant even pronounce) and my LFS guru recommended me do 3 ONE week cycles of Choroquin Phosphate (manufactured by Bayer) Its not an expensive treatment (the whole thing cost me $25) to get done.... I was wondering if anyone know anything about this and if I should be worried about something PLEASE NOTE, he told me it kills all corals, good thing my tank is a FOWLR tank. Any feedback is appreciated. Regards, Estefano |

You should do a search of the RK mag site .. I recall that their was an article which mention the use of malaria medication (Chloroquine) as a treatment for some parasites.
Not something I would put in my show tank. Good luck. Last edited by kevin2000; 03/19/2008 at 10:25 AM. |

Tkx for the feedback, that is exactly what he suggested.
Use it for your QT but try to avoid it on your DT. however since 1 of my fish has the sickness they ALL DO. i can either leave my tank fishless for 4 weeks and move everyone to QT or try my luck with that medication in the main tank... Regards, Estefano |
