Both API General Cure and PraziPro have the same primary ingredient for parasite treatment, General Cure also contains sodium chloride...salt. I've used PraziPro with great success, but I've never tried General Cure.Does this help?
I've had this one for 3 months
How long do you have it Kelli.
I seriously think (read hundreds of threads) it is a new case if Dwarf Gourami Disease.
The bloating and definitely the ulcer point that way. Dropsy is a symptom caused by organfailure and that is exact one of the things that DGD or DGIV causes
Mmmm difficult question.Should I treat with the med they gave me for dropsy or do I just get rid of (️) the gourami?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just did some research on Fishlore. There has been a severe problem with dwarf gourami disease coming out of the supplier from Singapore. It is an untreatable virus that is making it's way to many pet and aquarium shops. You may be wasting time and money on the dropsy treatment. One of the problems that will occur is that the fish gets too weak to swim to the surface for air and eventually drowns. I'm sorry to report that if your fish has this virus, it is not able to be saved and should be quarantined away from other fish until it dies.Hey Kelly, take DoudleDutch's comments to heart over that of a pet shop fish bagger.
Thank you very much for the info DoubleDutch. We shall see what happens. I've been going to this particular fish store for 20 years and usually get accurate advice, but as you said, there's always a chance they could be wrong. I will treat it since I have the med, but will euthanize if he doesn't get better. Thank you again.
