Senegals - WC vs CB!

Ha ha.
Never heard a fish keeper blaming missing a disease on residue on the glass
Classic

MariaS,
Why suggest metro for treating external worms?
Metro is a type of anti-biotic. Bacterial infection, flagellates, microbes.
Doubt it will work on the worms?

It's leftover from double sided tape from the old background (flipped tank when I painted it

Seachems site says that it is safe for invertebrates. Basically not ideal?

Y Yoda1 .....

I in fact did not recommend any treatments at all

Other members suggested various treatments which Hendre said he could not find in SA
I supplied the names under which he could find those ingredients and availability of the suggested medications in South Africa

Personally, i would use Prazinquatel.

I'm going to phone a few shops when school comes out.

Is api general cure available? Not as good as PG but should do the trick

 

[Hendre]

Will look for that as well.

Oh yes, easy mistake

Metro is not an approrpiate treatment for worms.

But Maria suggestion of Prazinquatel is a good idea.

Found cupramine at a local store, external parasite treatment that works like a bomb?

Could try if ur not able to get other stuff. It'sucess is in question but is still used for ectoparasites. Should kill everything except the fish.

Off the top of my head... I havent gone to double check but isnt Cupramine copper based?

Are copper based meds safe for scaleless and sensitive fish? ..
