nicmack Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 my discus came dowm with gill flukes and worms .... I have been treating with trichozole for two days now and was toldto use some furan 2 and the gills don't look all pink and healthy they are a bit white looking ... I am trying to get hold of prazi to treat the flukes with no luck at all so far, is there anyone in hamilton who can recommend a good vet who may be willing to help me out? Another question when the discus return to their main tank how do I know there is no fluke or bacteria living in that tank? I have been told to strip it and start again but if there is an easier way that would be much much better ! does PP work? if so in what doses would it affect the other little fishies?

jayci Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hello, was wondering, where did you get the trichozole from. And how hard is it on the fish and filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicmack Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I got the trichozole from a vet it didn't seem to have any effect on the fish at all (bad that is) i have ben doing a 25% water change every 24 hours as well ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 PP worked for me, but i sat by the tank for the full 5 hour treatment and didnt take my eyes off them. It eats everything (including your fish if its too strong) so it is quite a risky way to go. I made up a stock solution and with that i used 1ml/2 gallons which equaled 2ppm. My stock soultion was 10g in 665ml of water i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
