What the heck happened to my trigger?

[VFX]

Sean I have some Paraguard at home if you want to come over & get it.

I'll be around after 7.30pm

Maybe combine it with some antibiotic treatments & see if things get better.

michika- the trigger's a little more active now that it's in a quiet tank but it doesn't swim around too much, it kinda just stays in one area of the tank, but it's not hiding. Do you think that it would be possible to treat it in that tank and then do a REALLY thorough clean of it after the treatment is done? I'd still be a little leary about doing it though.

muck-thanks for the tip, I will try the clams again first and if all else fails will try the silverside idea.

VFX- thanks for the offer, but I think I will just go and quickly pick some up after work so at least I have it on hand.

got home from work, and there's good news and bad news. The good news is that it's still alive and the bad news is that it doesn't look any better. I plugged an airstone in right away and we are off to get some meds for it and some fresh clams to hopefully entice it....wish me luck!

Has anyone ever used a large rubbermaid container as a QT tank?? We have a pretty big one at home that I was thinking of using...do you think that this'll work?

[michika]

Glad your trigger is still around and swimming!

I'd worry that moving your trigger to the rubbermaid would be stressful to the trigger, but other then that I don't have any objections. I use a large rubbermaid as a sump right now and its done me well for some time.

I mix my new salt water in a Rubbermaid... should be fine but like Catherine says, moving him may be extra stress he doesn't need right now.

Good luck with him.

Hope he makes it.
