She has not put on a inch and she should be over a foot by now. I have tried 3 different med treatments to deworm her. First was API tabs soaking food in them. Second was tetra tabs, soaked food in a water dilution of those as well. I just did a two week tank treatment using prazipro with the recommended dosages. On the second week a long worm was expelled. I suspect there to be more because her stomach still has lumps. I went two weeks in clean water with large water changes, and this week started another dosing of the tank. I have been advised that this method doesn't work great for freshwater puffers since the meds are not "drank" or ingested. I should be soaking her food. My question is, how much prazi should be mixed with how much water to safely soak her food to get her healthy?

So, I have ignored it up until now, but I can't anymore. It is bothering me. My swordtails have this spotted white line(s) on them. The spots do no protrude but they are clearly visible on most of the swordtails.
My tetra's do not appear to have this.

Sorry, the picture is a bit blurred. Silly swordtails are so excitable! I love them!

Anyone know what these spots are?
From what I can tell, based on other pictures, the spots do not appear to be "normal"

So figuring that I have a hospital tank setup already I bought 2 and started treating with Tetra Pond Treatment and temp at 82-84. The question I have is after treatment for a few weeks and observation for a couple more, Do I risk infecting with potential mates or would I be in the clear? also do I need to clean out the hospital tank like all the way to dry bare bottom tank afterwards? Now I know there are threads on ICK already I just want some person opinions from people that have successfully dealt with it.

Hi folks,

My Aro had fin rot and since then stopped eating.It has been about 30 days my aro is not eating anything, the fin rot is stable in the 1st week itself. It is now not showing any increase and looks like the fin is improving.
I am little worried as my aro is not yet started any improvements in feeding.Don't know why it's keeping mouth open a little like something is stuck inside it.
I had some suggesstion from Arofanatics to use Multicure, but i could hardly find any dealer or shop who sells antibiotics or any medication for Aro's. Finally could find azoo magic treater somehow and have given medication thinking it will help if there is some bacterial infection but am little worried after three days no difference.

I am providing links of videos:

This is immediately after fin rot observed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAkQ7...ature=youtu.be
This is about 10 days after fin rot and before any medication:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r6WmLDr61PM
This is recent, a day ago after giving medication (azoo magic treater for 3 days): http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2yJz5qzIDII

I am doing daily 20% water change since past 3 weeks.My aros is trying to attack but not eating if anything i add to feed.
Please help me with your suggesstions.
Regards,
-ahp

They have an ability to take a fish apart so fast I am stunned.

I through a $1 highfin pleco that has grown to over 14" into the aquarium. The white crawlers positioned themselves on his whiskers.

It is only 48 hours later, and they have removed his tail and are working on the body. I see precious little chance of saving the pleco, but there are also 5 young (~ 12") Florida Gar in the tank. They like the bowfins I removed look totally unaffected by these creatures. ]]> Freshwater Diseases and Health Issues screaminleeman http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?540071-ID-quot-parasite-quot Fish surgery without clove oil? http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?540004-Fish-surgery-without-clove-oil&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 06:31:42 GMT Anyone ever done surgery without it?
