rich i still think water was the original problem in some way and although you now know you have gill worms its understanding what caused the stress for the animals to release an out break of usally dormant gill worms given the fact that you have never had it in 15 years of keeping rays something must of changed
what caused the animals such stress
now i could be wrong here so dont shoot me down but all stories should have a start middle and end
and relating the story to this gill worm incident could help many other hobbiest and save a few rays to
now my understanding for gill worm at the early stages is that salt and raising the temperature can be used to control further growth if ineed used in conjuction with uv sterilizers ( for me this has worked several times but is it fact or myth )
the thread has got some great info but its seeing the wood through the trees
i fully understand why somebody would suggest that you dont see tonnes of salt dumped in the actual river but nor do see litres of tremazol or wormex being added its what works for the hobby that makes sence
it would be great if stefan or mark could summarise in conjunction with youself rich
real good infomation great job gents
