Ute God Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 just noticed my cobolt blue M has a browinsh patch on his left side. Is this a bruise? They have been "scratchin" them selves on the rocks by taking a run at it and flicking the side of there bodies on to it. I guessed this is that white itch stuff so i went and got the remedy for it. So hopefuly they will overcome it. But i just wanted to know can they bruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hi they can get grazes from the rocks but they will heal in time , probably what you are seeing is a graze and not a bruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazza Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 None of mine have bruised but they sometimes shredd themselves on the rocks . But if it is a shredding it heals pretty quickly.' wazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ute God Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 Here is a picture here. Once again not the best of quality but you get the idea. I added 2.5 tablets of this stuff to my tank to get rid of the white itch stuff, and the lfs said to add 2.5 when i get home and another 2.5 on monday. Would it be ok to add 2.5 tonight instead of on monday? -=This is the picture=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiona Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Look up ich on google and you will see that you have to have a delay between doses of the medication so that you get the parasite at the necessary stages of the life cycle ... can't remember all the timing details now but it's all on the web.
