Resistant Cryptocaryon Irritans Diagnosis & Treatment

Here's something for all marine enthusiasts.

New Ich!  Wipes fish out in 24-48 hours.

 

Here's a picture of a Lionfish (Pterois Volitans), that has the new strain of Cryptocaryon that is going around.  This strain of marine Ich is not sensitive to treatments with Copper or Formaldehyde.

This strain of Ich is responsible for severe mortalities in the industry right now.  It shows up a bit larger than usual, followed with a slime that covers the fish and starves it for oxygen.  The fish will die with it's mouth open (anoxia)

Quinine Sulfate is the only magic drug we know of that will get rid of this strain of Crypto.  The quinine also works well on brooklynella.

Treatment:

For a small aquarium (under 50 gal), Use the Quinine Sulfate every 24 hours with a 25% water change before each treatment.  Treat the fish for 7 days.

 

For a central system, or large aquarium, do not treat every day.  Treat once and leave in the water for  7 days.  This treatment varies from what is printed on the product label.  Be advised!
