[Pazzoman]

Hey Everybody,

Concerned for the well being of my clown loaches coming in. I've been doing some reading and think I maybe be ordering this medicine for the loaches however I don't know how to actually giver the proper amount based on food amount. Any ideas?

does he have worms

No but Id rather get it just to keep in case, and most likely I would feed it to them for the first week or two to insure thier healthiness.

I don't really know the sighns just that I hear its common with clown loaches...think the skinny disease is a sympton.

Hoenstly I woudn't want to ask my lfs (petland) as they all dont seem knowlegable. I am however going to take a drive to a place in new jersey where is only fish for sale...so I will ask over thier. However I don't know when I will be able...so I figured if anyone on here uses it I will include it on the order as I'm purchasing different kinds of food as well. Also will get in the habit of water changes...possibley a percentage everyday.

There is a link in the hybrid section for treating hexamita. It has a solution made with Epsom salt you can use that to help clear anything out.

I used Api's general cure when I bought 2 loaches with skinny disease. I dosed according to instructions and fed them constantly and they were fat and healthy in 2 weeks.

Api's general cure? I will defintly look into that as well. I will check if others other members ahve had success...as all I hear is deworming pastes that have a certain ingredient...will check if api general cure has it as well.

I used the same thing last week, just a powder form for dogs. Seems to be working so far.

Do some google search on the active ingredient, Fenbendazole. You should get pretty good info.
