ryanjury Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I think the problem with Angels is hex.. And im sure you can treat that with metro or prazi cant remember which one, you could catch all your cardinals and treat them with either for a week to be sure, or just treat your angels and cardinals together.. I don't know if all angels have it or if angels just commonly get it and still live but theoretically you should be able to treat it..

purplecatfish Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 prazi = praziquantel http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/drontal-droncit-praziquantel-adtape-amp-gill-flukes-vp260591.html PM me if you need any or want to get rid of the cardinals. Perhaps a trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolliolli Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 metronidazole is the treatment for hex, it is an antibiotic so is usually a vet only medicine (or is also prescribed for human use as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 you should be ok just putting the cardinals into your discus tank. What type of discus do you have and post some pic if you can. cheers, ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
