Update on the recovery

Well, I have been busy for the stretch of the past 7 to 8 months and I had forgotten on the update on the recovery of the fishes. What I do remember was that after the potassium permagenate treatment, I stopped doing it after 3 days as there were no hints of slight improvement. So wat I did right after that was, I added just a hint of Japanese yellow powder (the water turn slight yellow), 4 heap tablespoon of salt and turn the heater on to 30 degree celcius and on the aeration high. I think I did remove the sponge filter and I remember doing daily water change (2 hours before the water change, remember to switch off the heater or the fish will have a temperature shock!). Viola~! After 7 to 10 days later, the fishes recovered, but of course, I did the medicational treatment for about another 5 to 7 days to get them stable and back to health. No losses were reported but it is really boring everyday to see sick fishes. SO! Always keep your fish in the best of health if you really want to enjoy this hobby! That's all for today!
