Feeder fish cought from the river

Methylene blue is for treating or preventing fungal infections.

What you want to look for and use on wild caught feeders is parasite killing medicine.

The LFS should have several brands/types either liquid or tablet. Prazi-pro and parasite clear are two I use.

If your water chems are good alga realy shouldn't be much of an issue if it is a old credit card and elbow grease works well-Anne

Don't get rid of the plecos unless they are causing a problem, I've seen it work many times with various species. And flag the feeders completely, just feed pellets and shrimp.

I don't think you can feed those feeders since since all creeks of the Philippines are really polluted.

 

[Armored_delhezi]

Yes that's true... I think I'll get rid of the feeders now... thanks!
I'm just thinking who would be the best cleaner on my tanks? aside from plecos...

 

[Armored_delhezi]

Just wondering, how do you visually check for internal parasites?

That's why i said "They LOOK healthy" coz all i can see is the outside...

 

[David R]

Yes, which is why I made that comment to point out that "looking healthy" is still taking a big chance of infecting your fish with something.

But as I said before, feed pellets and shrimp or smelt, much better than feeders.
