Medication question....extra dose?

I treated my tank with fungus cure which helped.
Then I started treatment with tetracycline as I believed there was also a bacterial infection going on.

I followed the directions and the final dose was given last night. The fish have vastly improved, are swimming and still eating very well.

One fish still has a slight trace of outward symptoms. My question is, is this ok and it will continue to impove on its own? Or should I give it one more dose of tetracycline?

Re: Medication question....extra dose?

it probably wouldnt hurt to do it again, do a water change or follow directions, if its still showing it might get a grip without it, also secondary infections may be minimized

Unless the direction of the meds say not to give a second dose I ALWAYS give another.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I'll make the whole damn world jealous if given the money to do so.


Don't make mistakes and learn from them, read and learn how to avoid mistakes.

a)Fix the damn problem
b)live with it
-But absolutely no b*tching
