    Anybody ever use Quinsulex? Colorless Quinine capsules for treating ich or other illnesses? Just bought some to treat my clown loaches. I will let you know how it goes...

    Quinine Sulfate is used for resistant strains of Ich (especially on scaleless fish). Protozoans. Also good for resistant strains of Hexamita when combined with Metronidazole.
    Treatment I have used is 1/4 teaspoon per 10 gallons of water. Treat one time and leave in the water for 5-7 days.
    For resistant Ich in a central system, treat once every three days with a 25% water change before each treatment. Do at least 3 treatments = 9 day period.

    I lost the fish I was trying to save. My larger Clown Loach. I have another one but its hidden under a rock in my tank so I cant see how its doing. None of my other fish are showing any signs of ich but I am gonna go ahead and do the full treatment just to be sure I get it all. I treated 2 days ago so I will do another 25% change today and then treat again. I have to go find some more of this stuff since I bought the last box at the store. I may have to go to the Vitamine Shoppe and buy it in powder form...
