Reply With Quotevery hard to get them to eat the tabs. I used to use Miracle baby MQ4 and MQ5 to treat apistogramma with Internal Bacteria and to deworm. Note that the medication is suppose to be use for Discus but they are also cichlid. Should be able to use

dose in water but the treatment take about 3 days and you need to do some water change daily.

i used miracle baby mq4 as recommended by joopsg. so far i've managed to cure 2 apistos in 2 tries that have had confirmed internal parasites. i did a 7 day treatment, changing water every 2 days
what is your dosing like for dosing in water ?
Any effects on plants in your tank ?
Chee Yong
How do you tell if they have confirmed parasites?
if its internal bacteria, the poo of the fish will be white stringy like.

@magic4lifez:
not really. depend on the keeper whether he or she can detect tell tale sign of internal bacteria in the fish.
@tcy81:
I only had java moss in my apisto tank so cannot be sure whether there is any effect. But i sure the medication will help to cure apistogramma with internal bacteria.

thanks, i trying to mix with food for it to eat.

You can try NLS Thera A. I'd success with an Apistogramma inka male with sunken belly. However it is also dependent on whether the fish eats the pellets.
Hi TCY,
You can try to break the tabs into smaller pieces and feed the fish. We feed our new apistos with these tabs.
