Sick Ram

Thanks, Elaine. Do you happen to know if there are any anti parasite
treatments that can be used jointly with Maracyn 2?

I'm not crazy about putting too many drugs in the water at once. It
tends to create water quality and/or toxicity problems. Adding medicine
to the water is really a catch-22 with sensitive fish like rams because
a sick ram needs very clean, soft water, while medications add dissolved
solids and can mess with bacterial filtration.

Try adding a single dose of copper to the tank (add at water changes to
maintain the doseage) until you're done with the Maracyn 2. Copper
shouldn't do much to the water quality. I do not have any idea whether
metronidazole and Maracyn 2 are compatible. Perhaps someone else knows.
