Have been on holiday for 3 weeks, returned a week ago and have been doing only quick checks and feeds on my large native tank. Finally sat down today to do a waterchange and tidy up on the tank and realised that in my absence I've had a massive infestation of bloody FISH LICE.
Wonderful...
Normally I'd just hit the tank with a dose of ivermectin, and another in a week, but I have zero information regarding medication sensitivities and tolerances with AUL's. Not many people tank about them online and even less (none?) talk about suitable treatments. Because of their prehistoric nature and the fact that other natives (scleropages) can be quite sensitive I want to be 100% sure before anything touches the tank.
Infestation was brought in by my stupid choice to place some native wild caught novahollandae (sp?) mussels into the tank. They'll be removed in the morning and treatment started as soon as I can work out what to treat with and dosage rates.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
