Retirement and forum shutdown (17 Jan 2022)
Hi,
John Howell who has managed the forum for years is getting on and wishes to retire from the role of managing it.
Over the years, he has managed the forum through good days and bad days and he has always been fair.
He has managed to bring his passion for fish keeping to the forum and keep it going for so long.
I wish to thank John for his hard work in keeping the forum going.
With John wishing to "retire" from the role of managing the forum and the forum receiving very little traffic, I think we must agree that forum has come to a natural conclusion and it's time to put it to rest.
I am proposing that the forum be made read-only from March 2022 onwards and that no new users or content be created. The website is still registered for several more years, so the content will still be accessible but no new topics or replies will be allowed.
If there is interest from the ITFS or other fish keeping clubs, we may redirect traffic to them or to a Facebook group but will not actively manage it.
I'd like to thank everyone over the years who helped with forum, posted a reply, started a new topic, ask a question and helped a newbie in fish keeping. And thank you to the sponsors who helped us along the away. Hopefully it made the hobby stronger.
I'd especially like to thank John Howell and Valerie Rousseau for all of their contributions, without them the forum would have never been has successful.
Thank you
Darragh Sherwin
Hexamita
Do you mean Octozin John?
Octozin contains a pretty good antibiotic that will also work against hexamtia and spironucleus.
It would be my first med of choise for any discus problem as it is such a broad spectrum agent.
The drug is potent and cannot be mixed with anything else (as opposed to eSHa Hexamita.....which is a milder drug that can be mixed with eSHa 2000).
But, are you sure your ram has hexamita?
I would recommend a swab of its crap under a microscope in case it is something else.

I was wondering how quickly it would take for someone to pick up on the DELIBERATE
mistake - he says in his best Captain Mainwairing voice.
Yes, don't know where Octogon came from...

I had to double read your post as I was about to agree with your recommendation straight-off.
It's a hybrid word between Waterlife Paragon and Octozin.....easily done (and I'm sure I've done it myself).
Both are excellent medications, but paragon should not be used cited for hexamita in case someone accidently uses it with discus.
