I bought Kent Garlic Xtreme today to try to recover my Blue Spot Jawfish. Sadly, the day after I bought him I noticed white patches on his body (not ich, possibly BSJ disease) which I assume is a bacterial infection. The LFS had him in a 78F (or higher) tank which could've stressed him, and when I moved him to my tank he developed an infection (more than likely from the stress of collection, shipping, and changing tanks). My tank is around 74F, which hopefully will keep the stress level lower.
Anyways, I have a few questions...
1. Do I need to take carbon filtration while using this?
2. It says to dose it directly to the tank for bacterial infections. How often should I dose it to the tank?
3. Can I use this along with Melafix, which also helps with bacterial infections?
4. If I dose it to the tank, should I also put it in the food?
5. If I can dose it to the tank and put it in the food, would it be best to feed the Jawfish more than once per day with this in the food? He seems stressed every day until I feed him... I'm thinking I should feed him more than once per day.
If you can think of anything else I need to know, please feel free to tell me.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read all of this!
