8" Red Devil in a 55gallon hospital tank.
80degF, with Baktopur tretament every 2nd day..

ie: Every 2nd day, the fish is dropped into a new
fresh tank of aged and aerated water with new Baktopur.

No filtration in the tank, 6 days now, things seemed to be going better,
tonight the fish started getting scared and acting eratically.

Is it because he has more energy to move now? Or is the Baktopur
treatment getting to him. ie: How long does this treatment have to go on
for?
It dosen't say on the package instructions. It only says to do 2 treatments
over 4 days
but it dosen't say to STOP after that. Some guys are saying treat for 12
days?
is that OK?

I don't know what Baktopur is, never heard of it before. But generally
speaking when it says on the med to do 2 treatments (or whatever) they
mean to do the 2 and then stop. They maybe don't write "after this,
you then must stop", but that is the intention.

What illness are you talking about? Have the symptoms disappeared or
decreased? If the symptoms of illness are gone, you should probably
stop, but this is not good for me to advise when I don't know the
illness.
