You want to keep up the lymozyme on an ongoing basis - as I understand
it it "crowds out" the bad Aeromonas bacteria that would otherwise
infect your fish at any wound site.
=======================
And it does this very well. Even if they already have an ulcer - the ulcer
will heal rapidly. At least that's been my experience. We use it a few
times in the spring and keep it refrigerated at all times. The store we get
it from also keeps it cold.

Koizyme is the same as Lymnozyme...........and its not designed to
CURE anything.Its merely designed to reduce infectious bateria levels,
giving a fish a hopefull edge in over coming a problem....It will not
cure or wipe out an infection by any means .......Pristine good
quality water in a QT will do the same thing, give your fish an edge
on potential problems.............

# No one said it was. Is your reading comprehension as poor as your grammar

# It cured my koi. :-) No more ulcers........

oh I agree......

but, as I mentioned, due to problems with the last trip in a tank, I am not
doing this with these fish (even if I could catch them)

I did have *another* indoor tank , about a year ago, that no matter WHAT I
did I could not get the balance correct in the tank, there was always
presence of ammonia in it, even with trying to do the balance thing with a
small fish,, water changes etc. it was a nightmare, I tried asking for
advice on the fish groups, but nothing seemed to help. I guess the tank is
cursed.

=====================
The few times I've run into that problem I gave up, cleaned the tank out,
washed the gravel, tosses the filter material way and started over again.
The second time around they always cycled... but then I don't mess much with
the PH, etc. In NYC we had slightly acid water (6.8) so I stuck with fish
that thrived in acid water or used dolomite gravel. Here in TN it's
slightly alkaline so I stick with fish that prefer that type of water. Less
stress for the fish and myself. Outdoors it's the koi, rosy reds and
goldfish. Indoors it's platys right now. Goldfish do so much better
outdoors I don't keep them indoors anymore.

Did you use what I call the "Amquel Answer"? I'd been taught to balance a
tank and not stress fish one had to do water changes. Then someone informed
me to use Amquel (or similar product) to de-tox the ammonia and salt to
detox the nitrites and treat the tank/aquarium as I normally would with 10%
change/week. Worked like a charmed for me. ~ jan

the stuff I used was clor-amx (spelling) it was the powdered stuff..
ammonia dissapeared but was back in a few days later. tank was a 55 gal,
with only a couple small fish in it.

Chlor-Amx same thing as Amquell, you have to keep using it till the cycle
is complete. ~ jan
