QT medication

[lsu_fishfan]

Does anyone have experience using Chloriquine Phosphate to treat a fish in QT? Been doing some reading about it and found that it is highly successful for treating ick, velvet, and brooklynella. What are your guys opinions on the use of this medicine.

I know many who recommend it. I have no direct experience with it, it's not the easiest stuff to get.

I use it. Only challenge I've had is that it does affect the bacteria, so I have to do water changes frequently with it. I just put an "ammonia alert" thing in the tank and if it shows any tint of green, I do a 30-50% change, generally every 3-4 days. I lost a few fish before I figured that out...
