Medical treatment of Silver Dollars

[fishguy1978]

Since this is ongoing I decided to move over to the Parasite thread.
White spots are more like lesions in two of the Dollars.
Treatment so far:
1. Aquari-sol
2. Blue meth 16Nov-21Nov, 90% water change
3. Binox 27Nov-30Nov, 90% water change
4. Paragyard, 02DEC-

I was going to take some pictures as all the Silver Dollars were holding still. Out came the camera and nobody would behave.

Water test results L to R:
PH low range, PH high rang, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate. Low range PH was tested twice because it is so high.

Looks like the Dollars are finally getting better. I did add a fourth dose of Paraguard last night. I will put the carbon back in on Monday if I see continued improvement.

Happy to hear about that, but I'd continue the Paraguard for at least 7 days total. That's typically what I do, as there don't seem to be any ill effects of longer dosage on either healthy fishes or water chemistry. Good luck.

BTW, I have always loved silver dollars, but haven't kept them since I was a boy, so your pics brought back memories.
