„I bought two pandas from the wrong dealer and introduced a disease with one that only affected the panda group. I know Aquarium Münster because I have had aquariums for 47 years. The baths with VIRUMOR saved two out of six pandas. Four pandas could no longer be helped because the bacteria had already eaten into the fins and bodies of the fish. I underestimated the disease because a UVC clarifier is constantly running (in all aquariums) and I change 25% water weekly. The two survivors have now received six “buddies” (bought again from the old dealer) – everyone is fit and cheerful, because:
On your advice, I changed the food for two aquariums to DR. BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD FUCO. Even the very picky Aulonocara group in the Malawi Basin went straight to the new food. Previously I fed the Malawis with … and, in the other tank, the pandas with …. In addition, there is regular live food. In the third tank, the brackish water aquarium, almost only live food is fed (green puffer fish and gobies). By the way, the knights also accept the FUCO. However, live food is preferred. The “Kufis” cannot be used to dry food. You get 70% the large two-spotted crickets, 30% shrimp, krill and mosquito larvae, snails.
I have the impression that the fish are fitter with FUCO.
I was happy that I received an answer and therefore help shortly after my question. I have already recommended FUCO to friends and acquaintances.
I haven’t had any diseases in the aquariums for what feels like 20 years. After this story, I hope that things will continue again without any illnesses. I don’t normally bond with my fish (I have two tame parrots), but things are different with pandas. The pandas are the funny panda gang ;-). The fact that the four of them were eaten affected me greatly and I was sad and angry. I was even more pleased about the quick advice. Next I would have contacted the veterinary college (fish clinic). As written: The pandas have grown very dear to my heart. They are an important part of “my zoo”.
Thank you again and kind regards from Hanover“
