A few of you may remember my previous thread on this and I thank those that helped in the thread and in pm.
Quick backstory. A few weeks ago my 55 gallon (housing my 7" severum, bn pleco,clown pleco, and some guppies) had a dead guppy with some red stuff hanging from it's vent that I wasn't sure if it was some intestines or a red worm. I removed the remaining female guppies from the tank because they were extremely bloated and had been getting harassed incessantly gt the males. Put those two in a ten gallon qt (that was currently treating some tetras that were being stressed too much by my convicts and broke out with a fungus on one of their scale wounds) to watch them closer for any red wormage. Lastnight I definitely seen a disgusting little red worm sticking out of the most bloated female. Now undoubtedly my fear was a reality and war has been declared.
My weapons for worm (and possibly beneficial bacteria too
) genocide.
(Fenbendazole)
Strategy
3ml fenbendazole into a 100ml of tank water in a container with blood worms for 3 days followed by a big water change.
Repeat for the next two weeks in total of 3 weeks.
On the 3rd week big water change I will put all the inhabitants into the empty and dry 75 gallon I have waiting. I'll keep it bare bottom for a few weeks while I sterilize my sand.
Hopefully all turns out right and the only deaths are that of the parasites.
