mumzy50 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 sorry about that. I some how mucked that up, must need sleep. I have clown loches. When i first got them i had nothing but trouble. now they are fine. I used Tonic, but be careful it can be hameful to them. .Mine were fine. have had no problem since, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 smidey, sorry about your fishy hope he gets better real soon. I don't have clown loaches, as a matter of fact they have only recently started bring them in...anyway, how do you know it's interal parasites?

jolliolli Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 With discus i have used metronidazole in the past to rid internal parasites and it has worked well. Not sure if its safe with loaches though, either way probably best to separate him so that it isn't transferred to the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
