Official Internal Parasites Thread in Stingray (pics)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Very neat stuff. In regards to your second photo of the second post, that could be a different worm. I noticed if you look in the bottom right hand corner near the tip of the big worm you can make out a smaller worm body. I hope someone can ID these for you. Nice work!
 
Both Seachem Metro and Hikari PraziPro is coming in today, anyone have an idea on which to start with?
I'm guessing it is a good idea just to follow the instructions on the label or is there a better method?

Thanks!
 
I always use PraziPro first with any of my fish
 
Thanks West1!

I'm worried because my rays seem to be on the thin side.

You guys be the judge. Thin or not? I feed them large amounts twice daily with red wigglers. I go through about 600 of them in about 2-3 weeks!

They don't look thin to me. Are they eating anything else?
 
They look healthy to me as well. They will get thicker with size. I am curious, could you see the worms moving on the slides or were they still?
 
Some of them were still moving, others were still. I'm worried because I see other ppls motoros and their tails are REALLY thick and fat. Mine are thin.

They are currently JUST on red wiggler earthworms... I am going to start stuffing the worms with pellets when they get larger and onto nightcrawlers.
