Thank you Mindy for the help

Yes, as in Marine Ich, and from what you say I guess I got lucky with my Kole as he made it through a bout in QT

Tonight is the last dose of E.M. Tomorrow night they get a nice WC and then a couple days of carbon

I'm pondering a round of Metronidazole next as a last ditch effort

You're welcome.

The Metro is a reasonable last ditch effort, although I wouldn't be wanting to expose the other fish to any more medications. They've had enough already!

looks like a swim bladder problem. Could be a direct effect of the antibiotics and the good bacterias inside the fish intestine.

I would never treat with antibiotics unless it is 100% sure it is a bacterial disease. Most of the time it is a parasite that is causing the problem and it is better to treat with a broad spectrum medicine like Seachem Paraguard.

Greg, check this thread out to see if it makes sense: http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/...bladder-50106/
Pay attention to comments by leebca. Leebca is an expert in this field.
I don't think it's swim bladder problem. I have seen a lot of fish with swim bladder problem and your fish doesn't have swim bladder problem.

Thanks for the link George

I've done a 50% WC tonight, added carbon, and am now just going to sit back and hope he comes around, but I'm not holding my breath

Whelp, no point in dragging this out any longer ...

Poor dude didn't make it

I'll chalk it up to cyanide capturing methods, or something similar

RIP Mac
