1 Angel pair, 1 female angel in a 400L planted community tank - 13 other fish inc teras, cory, BN & Rams. 1 tera and both rams look skinny like the angels. 1 pair with their fry in a 80L, which i'm on the hunt for a bigger tank for them, not many tall tanks around. the 80L was all i had on hand that was cycled. Wasnt planning on keeping the babies but the parents did such a great job i real wanted to see them raise the cuties. The pair with fry are always munching on the frys BBS :facepalm: and feed twice a day sometimes more, all they can consume in 1min. They mainly eat NLS Thera A, odd time a bit of flake. The ones in 400L I used to feed them twice a day but cut back to 1 due to algae issues, figured i was overfeeding, feed them as much as they can consume in 1-2 mins, they eat JBL granulat (small for my rams) , JBL flakes for 10-20cm, lone female eats NLS pellets, shrimp pellets (for corys) and the odd frozen bloodworms.

I do have some tetra parasite guard which contains Metro but only have enough tablets to treat 60L, so have been hesitant to try it. I haven't seen any worms in the tank, just the sunken in bellies and whatever is attached to some of my male guppies gonopodium, which are big and white.

Thanks for the info on the Aviverm / Levamisole JaSa, tap water here has a rather high Ph of around 7.8, tanks sit a bit lower so will give another crack at it with lower Ph. Did a quick search emamectin benzoate, didn't find much. Anyone had much luck with Flubendazole-based wormers like Kusuri Wormer Plus?

Only just brought the Droncit and Aviverm. Both treatments were done in bare bottom tank so i could see if any worms came out, after both treatments nothing so haven't done repeat treatments. few weeks ago I put 3 guppies showing these worms like things in 25lter and added one 50mg Droncit tablet. It did not dissolve well in the water so left fish in there for 24hrs before putting them back in there tank. worm still there And on sat i overdosed on the Levamisole at 12.5mg per liter ( added 3 ml to a 55ltr ) , i did that by mistake so did 50% WC on sun and today. This was done on some young angels and nothing. I am rather new to angels and maby thats how they are meant to look, they just seem to curve / cave in between there Ventral and anus, my two breeding females are the worst, my lone female looks fine she has no curve / sunken in belly at all. My fish have had live food at one stage, i brought some riccia moss off TM to float and just threw it in the tank cause it looked so clean and healthy, then noticed my fish were eating bloodworms that were coming out of the moss like it came from some pond or somthing!

Not to sure what type of parasite my fish have here but there showing sunken in bellies and their anus is slightly protruding, they have been like this for awhile as i just can't figure out what they have. I did have 3 angel pairs but i lost one of my male angels after it paired up and spawned while there was another angel pair in the tank, the stress must have caused the parasite to take hold, he began to spit out his food then dyed with bloated stomach. There poo is sometimes stringing, in segments and light coloured. most of the time food colour and normal, however i did buy some NLS anti parasitic garlic pellets, but only one of my angel pairs eat them, the pair that does eat them i feed them exclusively on the pellet for ages and there bellies did not improve. The angels have been spawning in this condition and i do lose some of the fry with bloated stomachs. Have never seen a worm protruding from my fish besides my guppies which i believe i have somehow managed to pass what my angels have into my guppy tank as some of the males have long white worm like things that appear attached to there gonopodium, as i have seen a male stretching his gonopodium forward and the worm followed, plus a few of the males have become skinny. I treated the guppies in the pic with Praziquantel, did not affect the "worm". I treated some young angels from one of my pairs with Levamisole in a bare bottom tank and didn't notice any worms on the bottom. When i culled some of these young angels for deformed fins, i put them in the freezer and when i pulled them out they all had real big red/white worms that came out of there gills area. Im at a loss of what to do, i have 5 tanks biggest being 400L, not keen to unnecessarily treat all the tanks with all the different types of wormers. Ill attach some pics of the symptoms and hopefully someone can help, i have a angel pair that are raising around 100 fry and im gonna need this problem solved for their sake! I have spent many many hours researching with no luck. I did find this online about Nematode that sound about right but treatment is difficult and cant find any of the treatments. The threadworms infect the entire body of infected fish but the only visible sign of the infection will be worms hanging out of the anus of the infected fish. Severe cases can cause the belly of the fish to sink in but most cases don't cause any external signs other then the anal worms and usually don't cause any real problems for the fish. It should be treated none the less. Nematodes are hard to treat but there are a couple of methods that might or might not be successful. One is to treat the fish using parachlorometaxylenol. The second method to treat nematodes is to feed you fish medicated fish food containing thiabendazole. First pair: Female, photo taking just befor she spawned thats why she looks bloated and nips in fins are from her partner ( they went through a rough patch lol ) Male http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Espi_ ... b.jpg.html Second Pair: ( eating NLS Garlic pellets ) and raising fry excuse my crappy crack fix Female http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Espi_ ... e.jpg.html Male http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Espi_ ... 1.jpg.html Guppy http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Espi_ ... 2.jpg.html

Well started off with 50 feeder fry, that turn out to be fancy's that had been crossed don't have a lot of spare time for breeding so iv been slowing crossing them over the years Got some that are like Dragon Heads in yellow then in orange Red blondes that i turned tuxedo - Double sword - white tail with splash of orange Orange tailed - then spotted - then made tuxedo Interesting lace and sword tails - double - bottom made some grays with the bight red tails of the blondes I would like to get a trio that breeds true tho now that iv got my own place Start breeding something better than crosses
