Question
Hi,my little clown loache is wasting away in front of me. He has skinny disease and im on day oneof using Interepet no9, Anti Internal Bacteria. But through research on the internet, he should be treated with tetrcycline, which ive tried to get but only found it on asite in America and the dont post to the uk. I managed to get tetrcycline tab;ets 250mg, but dont know how to administrate them properly. Im getting pretty desperate here and dont know what to do. I have three other clowns and they seem to be growing well and look healthy enough. help!

Answer
Hello Lynn,

I am not aware of this product, however from what I know regarding tablets they normaly just set them up to where you only need one tablet at a time. You need to let them dissolve in a seperate paper cup and then pour it into the tank, and also adding one at a time is not going to hurt them. It would be nice if you gave me a couple frequent reports back on how you loach is doing, that would be great!

Thanks ,
Michael M.
